Lars Hofhansl commented on HDFS-744:
------------------------------------
You are right Luke. I implemented this in the context of hadoop-2 (i.e. with
HDFS-265).
It seems to get this right HDFS-265 needs to be revisited again.
Will look at your suggestion (doing sync in the data thread). As long as the
syncs (or flushes) are not serialized it's fine (otherwise nobody is going to
switch this on).

> 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.
