Lars Hofhansl commented on HBASE-7728:
--------------------------------------
I think the reasoning would go like this: When we get past flush part, all
edits have been flushed to the last log file. If we cannot sync that file, for
example because the log was rolled, it does not help to sync another log file
(it won't cause the prior file to be sync'ed).
> deadlock occurs between hlog roller and hlog syncer
