Luke Lu commented on HBASE-5954:
--------------------------------
As you've found out, the fsync performance is very sensitive to the disk
controller and its settings. You need a SATA/SAS controller (RAID or not) with
battery or (recently) flash (FBWC in HP cards, nvcache in Dell cards) backed
write cache to get good and safe sync performance on HDFS as the additional
seek to sync the checksum file is really expensive without a write cache to
queue the writes, which calls for HDFS-2699, which I think should be an per
file option.
> Allow proper fsync support for HBase
