Jay Kreps commented on KAFKA-1646:
----------------------------------
Hey [~waldenchen] this patch is adding a TON of windows-specific if/else
statements. I don't think that is sustainable. I think if we are going to do
this we need to try to make it the same strategy across OS's just for
maintainability.
That said, are you sure NTFS can't just be tuned to accomplish the same thing?

> This patch is for Window platform only. In Windows platform, if there are
> more than one replicas writing to disk, the segment log files will not be
> consistent in disk and then consumer reading performance will be dropped down
> greatly. This fix allocates more disk spaces when rolling a new segment, and
> then it will improve the consumer reading performance in NTFS file system.
> This patch doesn't affect file allocation of other filesystems, for it only
> adds statements like 'if(Os.iswindow)' or adds methods used on Windows.
