Todd Lipcon updated HDFS-1108:
------------------------------
Attachment: hdfs-1108-habranch.txt
Rebased on HA branch with following changes:
- some places used to persist blocks only if append was enabled - now it also
persists them in those cases if the configuration is set
- the config is forced to true if HA is enabled
- improved the unit test so the writer keeps writing after the NN restarts, and
verifies that both the data written before and after the restart can be read
back
> 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.
