Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-14495:
-----------------------------------------

I think we need to to allow apps to declare that they *must* have a feature, a 
key one being that hsync really does have the expected semantics of "by the 
time this returns, the data has been persisted". The {{Syncable}} interface 
doesn't offer this guarantee, as all implementations of {{FSDataOutputStream}} 
claim to be {{Syncable}}. 

I also want the ability to set some specific options on a stream some just 
being a hint. That fadvise is my example, but as that's a need on an input 
stream, an issue for a separate builder. A better example is erasure-coding, 
maybe just something indicating expected data role, at least that something is 
going to be considered  cool/cold data (though apps don't always know that 
themselves)
