Todd Lipcon commented on ZOOKEEPER-1427:
----------------------------------------
Yea, I didn't know whether the data was fixed-length (and <512bytes). Write,
fsync, and rename is best. In theory we should fsync the directory, too, but I
don't know of any way to do it from Java :(
> Writing to local files is done non-atomically

> Currently, the writeLongToFile() function opens the file for truncate, writes
> the new data, syncs, and then closes. If the process crashes after opening
> the file but before writing the new data, the file may be left empty, causing
> ZK to "forget" an earlier promise. Instead, it should use RandomAccessFile to
> avoid truncating.
