>                 Key: HDFS-7268
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-7268
>             Project: Hadoop HDFS
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: hdfs-client
>    Affects Versions: 2.4.1
>            Reporter: Bogdan Raducanu
>
> It seems to me that currently it's not possible to start appending to a file 
> with CreateFlag.SYNC_BLOCK behavior (i.e. hsync after each block). So, I 
> think, the only way to guarantee durability when appending is if the user 
> calls hsync at the end of each block.
> FileSystem.append doesn't accept a CreateFlag argument.
> FileSystem.create, on the other hand, ignores CreateFlag.APPEND afaics. I 
> think the plan in HDFS-744 was to use this method if durability is needed.
> It seems it might work through FileContext but in the end DFSOutputStream 
> never sets shouldSyncBlock when appending anyway.
> Or am I missing something?
