Subject: Regarding hsync 

Hi, 

I am currently working on hadoop version 2.0.*. 

Currently, hsync does not update the file size on namenode. So, if my process 
dies after calling hsync but before calling file close, the file is left with 
an inconsistent file size. I would like to fix this file size. Is there a way 
to do that? A workaround that I have come across is to open the file stream in 
append mode and close it. This fixes the file size on the namenode. Is it a 
reliable solution? 

Thanks, 
Hemant
