dhruba borthakur commented on HADOOP-3146:
------------------------------------------

I agree. I think we should revert back the semantics of DFSOutputStream.flush() 
to what it was in 0.16. Also, introduce a new call DFSOutputStream.sync() that 
actually waits for packets to get acknowledged from datanodes. Patch coming 
soon....

> SequenceFile should not call flush excessively

> Starting fron hadoop-0.17, calling flush of dfs becomes very expensive.
> It does not make much sense to call flush inside append.
