Hairong Kuang commented on HADOOP-4292:
---------------------------------------

Specifically what's in my mind is to introduce the following interface:
{code:title=TruncatableFileSystem.java|borderStyle=solid}
interface TruncatableFileSystem {
  // set the file length to be the given len and the current position to be the 
given len
  FSDataOutputStream truncate(Path file, long len);
{code} 

RawLocalFileSystem will implement TruncatableFileSystem.

In ChecksumFileSystem.append, if the raw file system is not a 
TruncatableFileSystem, throw an exception indicating that the append is not 
supported. Otherwise, read the last partial trunk, truncate both the data file 
and crc file, rewrite the last partial trunk.

> append() does not work for LocalFileSystem

>
> append is supported by LocalFileSystem but it does not update crc when a file 
> is appended. 
> When you enable checksum verification {{TestLocalFileSystem.testAppend}} 
> fails. Since HADOOP-4277 is a blocker for 0.17  I am planning to disable this 
> test in HADOOP-4277.
