stack commented on HADOOP-5744:
-------------------------------

Thanks Hairong.  Any comment on the unqualified 'delay' made mention of in the 
spec?  What kind of time scale should we be thinking in?  If it is an 'hour' as 
I believe is the current default for lease timeout, hbase-like applications 
will have given up the wait long before.  If its in the tens of seconds -- ~30 
seconds -- as I'm currently seeing in HBASE-4379 patches I'm helping Dhruba 
test, then that is still too long but tolerable in a first release, as long as 
it can be improved on over time ("Instantaneous" would be the ideal).  Thanks.

> HADOOP-1700 and related issues have put a lot of efforts to provide the first 
> implementation of append. However, append is such a complex feature. It turns 
> out that there are issues that were initially seemed trivial but needs a 
> careful design. This jira revisits append, aiming for a design and 
> implementation supporting a semantics that are acceptable to its users.
