Doug Judd commented on HADOOP-4379:
-----------------------------------
There should be a way to forcibly take over a lease. In our application,
ownership of the various files is controlled at a higher level (i.e. Chubby).
A server will not come up and attempt to recover a file (or check its length)
unless it is the sole owner of the file (i.e. it will have obtained a Chubby
lock).
Can we add some sort of API that allows a client to forcibly take over a lease
immediately?
> In HDFS, sync() not yet guarantees data available to the new readers
