Enis Soztutar commented on HBASE-6962:
--------------------------------------
HBase does not use append, but needed the append to be enabled to have the sync
API (hflush, hsync). From what I understand, HADOOP-8230 decouples append and
sync support, and enables sync by default.
However, HBase still uses hflush() by default, and it is not changed. In
HBASE-5954, we will have the option to chose between hflush/hsync depending on
desired durability guarantees per column family/table.
See Lars' excellent blog post on this:
