> {quote}
> The following options can be useful, but be careful when you use them. The
> risk of each is explained along with the explanation of what the variable
> does.
> {quote}
> {quote}
> _forceSync_ : (Java system property: *zookeeper.forceSync*) Requires updates
> to be synced to media of the transaction log before finishing processing the
> update. If this option is set to no, ZooKeeper will not require updates to be
> synced to the media.
> {quote}
> The risks for this option are not very clear. Does it only the risk of loss
> some recent committed transactions if all Zookeeper instances from an
> ensemble are crashed and restarted at almost the same time or some other
> problems are also possible?
