Suresh Srinivas commented on HADOOP-8230: ----------------------------------------- Adding dfs.support.sync flag is along the lines of my previous comments. I am reluctantly okay with enabling it by default. This should be a blocker on 1.1. It might be easy to revert this patch, and add the new flag, as lot of paths to be enabled by the new flag are removed in this patch. > Enable sync by default and disable append > ----------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-8230 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8230 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 1.0.0 > Reporter: Eli Collins > Assignee: Eli Collins > Fix For: 1.1.0 > > Attachments: hadoop-8230.txt > > > Per HDFS-3120 for 1.x let's: > - Always enable the sync path, which is currently only enabled if > dfs.support.append is set > - Remove the dfs.support.append configuration option.
