Michael A. Smith updated AVRO-3013:
-----------------------------------
Component/s: python
> Avro files should allow fsync-ing files to disk in Python
> ---------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: AVRO-3013
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-3013
> Project: Apache Avro
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: python
> Reporter: He Chen
> Priority: Major
>
> I am new to Apache, but here I am...
> In our use case, we need to constantly update an existing avro file. The way
> we did it is that we copy the old avro file to a temporary file, append data
> to the temporary file, close the temporary file, and rename the temporary
> file to the original avro file. This is problematic since closing a file does
> not guarantee to write data to disk. The bug caused by this is hard to track
> since it's hard to reproduce.
> I noticed that there is a ticket that addresses this for the Java client
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1388. Why isn't it implemented for
> the Python client? If there are no objections, I'd like to submit a patch. Or
> perhaps I am missing something here? Please let me know!
