Robert Chansler commented on HADOOP-5224:
-----------------------------------------
This particular item turns off _append()_ at the interface without affecting
the implementation or normal behavior of _sync()_.
A related item, Hadoop-5225, disables some of the recovery code associated with
sync in the case of data node failure.
The use of either of these facilities in 0.19.0 is dangerous to the integrity
of the file system. The goal is to provide 0.19.1 with the same file system
integrity as 0.18.3. Further development of append and sync recovery can then
continue.

> As discussed on core-dev@
> (http://www.nabble.com/Hadoop-0.19.1-td21739202.html) we will disable append

> FileSystem.append(...) methods.
> Does append in libhdfs (HADOOP-4494) need attention too?
