Both metadata and data are consistent between clients. If a client has the capability to buffer data for a file, it will be told to flush it before another client reads the file. Similarly, if a client has the capability to cache (for read) data for a file, it will be told to drop that before another client writes the file. Usually, if the MDS sees two clients using the same file concurrently, it will instruct both of them to switch to unbuffered IO.
