> 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
> Attachments: IO-546.patch

>
> 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.
