files are not visible until they are closed
-------------------------------------------

         Key: HADOOP-89
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-89
     Project: Hadoop
        Type: Bug
  Components: dfs  
    Versions: 0.1    
    Reporter: Yoram Arnon
    Priority: Critical


the current behaviour, whereby a file is not visible until it is closed has 
several flaws,including:
1. no practical way to know if a file/job is progressing
2. no way to implement files that never close, such as log files
3. failure to close a file results in loss of the file

The part of the file that's written should be visible.
