Todd Lipcon commented on HDFS-1108:
-----------------------------------
Why do you say the hflush doesn't take care of this?
> ability to create a file whose newly allocated blocks are automatically
> persisted immediately

> The current HDFS design says that newly allocated blocks for a file are not
> persisted in the NN transaction log when the block is allocated. Instead, a
> hflush() or a close() on the file persists the blocks into the transaction
> log. It would be nice if we can immediately persist newly allocated blocks
> (as soon as they are allocated) for specific files.
