Doug Cutting commented on AVRO-1388:
------------------------------------
If this is a new method whose contract is to call FileDescriptor#sync() then
throwing an exception might be reasonable.
On the other hand, it might be better to generalize this, so that it can be
used with HDFS too. We might:
- add a Syncable interface
- cast to that in the DataFileWriter#sync()
- add a SyncableFileOutputStream implementation
- change DataFileWriter#create(Schema,File) to call create(schema, new
SyncableFileOutputStream(file)).
> Avro container files should allow fsync-ing files to disk

> Another feature we require in Avro data files in addition to AVRO-1387 is
> that we be able to fsync the files to disk. Currently we cannot do this, but
> this can be achieved without API changes. If there are no objections, I will
> submit a patch
