Tomas Celaya created IO-546:
-------------------------------
Summary: ClosedOutputStream#flush should throw
Key: IO-546
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-546
Project: Commons IO
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Streams/Writers
Reporter: Tomas Celaya
Priority: Minor
While debugging an issue involving usage of {{CloseShieldOutputStream}} I
discovered that {{ClosedOutputStream#flush}} is not overridden and will
silently succeed. Not sure how much of a breaking change this might be but I
think it makes more sense for {{ClosedOutputStream#flush}} to throw. This is
only really meaningful in contexts where multiple streams are being chained
together and some of the streams before {{CloseShieldOutputStream}} perform
buffering, but it would make behavior more consistent for these more complex
use-cases.
No patches are included because I'm interested in hearing what the opinion
would be on this issue. I can provide a patch if this seems like desired
behavior.
