Doug Cutting commented on HADOOP-4292:
--------------------------------------

truncate does seem like a common-enough file operation to put in 
FileSystem.java.

> If truncate returns an FSDataOutput, next write does not need to open it for 
> appending first. 

My intuition is to make this two separate operations: truncate, and 
open-for-append.  Do you have a strong reason to connect them?


> 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.
