>
> The reason is that HDFS file stream's flush() call does not really flush the
> data all the way to disk, nor even makes the data visible to HDFS users. See
> the HDFS semantics of the flush/sync at
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6313.
> Consequently the audit logs on HDFS won't be visible/durable from HDFS client
> until the log file is closed. This will, among other issues, boost chances of
> losing audit logs in case of system failure.
