dhruba borthakur commented on HDFS-744:
---------------------------------------
We need this functionality for HBase clusters. When HBase writes data to a
HLog?HFile, it better be persisted on disk, otherwise there could be data loss
when a non-trivial number of datanodes are power-cycled simultaneously.
> Support hsync in HDFS

> HDFS-731 implements hsync by default as hflush. As descriibed in HADOOP-6313,
> the real expected semantics should be "flushes out to all replicas and all
> replicas have done posix fsync equivalent - ie the OS has flushed it to the
> disk device (but the disk may have it in its cache)." This jira aims to
> implement the expected behaviour.
