Description

On 0.15.3 which includes HADOOP-2540 ("Empty blocks make fsck report corrupt, even when it isn't") fix, we are still seeing fsck reporting missing blocks when they aren't. Basically, any unclosed small files under lease shows up as MISSING.

Can we have an option in fsck to skip those files under lease?
Or count those files/blocks separately?
