-------------------------------------

Thanks J-D.

I should have seen the update earlier... not sure how important 'force' flag 
is. Currently it might not work properly.

Say sync thread starts fs_sync() at time t0. At t1 a client appends and invokes 
a force-sync... I am assuming the contract is  it should return after next 
fs_sync. But in the current implementation, it may not : when fs_sync() returns 
at t2, it sets this flag to false.. client's force-sync could return without a 
fs_sync.

I might implement it something like :

{code}
 addToSyncQ(boolean force) {
   lock()
   if (force) {
        this.forceSync = true;
   }
  //...
} {code}

Rest of the implementation remains same.. with forceSync being a simple boolean 
rather than an atomic.

> Currently multiple clients writing to a RS are serialized when sync'ing their 
> appends. Implementing group commit can help this by being aware of all the 
> clients in that queue.
