> Currently it appears that internalFlushCache writes directly to the target
> spot of the flushed data. The finally() block appends the metadata and closes
> the file as if nothing bad went wrong in case of an exception. This is really
> bad, since it means that an IOE in the middle of flushing cache could easily
> write a valid looking file with only half the data, which would then prevent
> us from recovering those edits during log replay.
> Instead, it should flush to a tmp location and move it into the region dir
> only after it's successfully written.
