------------------------------------------------
Dhruba, as [Rob mentioned
before|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-5332?focusedCommentId=12678954#action_12678954],
the default value in src/c++/libhdfs/tests/conf/hdfs-site.xml is set to be
true but the description saying that it should be false. Which one is correct?
{noformat}
+ <name>dfs.support.append</name>
+ <value>true</value>
+ <description>Does HDFS allow appends to files?
+ This is currently set to false because there are bugs in the
+ "append code" and is not supported in any prodction cluster.
+ </description>
{noformat}
> Make support for file append API configurable
