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

> I think we should also try to solve the general case where the NN does not

It may update the access times. It should not persist them though.

> Edit log buffer should not grow unboundedly

> Currently HDFS does not impose an upper limit on the edit log buffer. In case 
> there are a large number of open operations coming in with access time update 
> on, since open does not call sync automatically, there is a possibility that 
> the buffer grow to a large size, therefore causes memory leak and full GC in 
> extreme cases as described in HDFS-1104. 
> The edit log buffer should be automatically flushed when the buffer becomes 
> full.
