Sanjay Radia commented on HADOOP-8230:
--------------------------------------
The sync fixes were a large number of individual fixes. They added risk for
users that were not using the sync feature. Hence Sync was kept off by default
for such users - this was a very conscious decision.
Sync should be left off by default with an option to turn it on. This is an
incompatible change.
> Enable sync by default and disable append

> Per HDFS-3120 for 1.x let's:
> - Always enable the sync path, which is currently only enabled if
> dfs.support.append is set
> - Remove the dfs.support.append configuration option. We'll keep the code
> paths though in case we ever fix append on branch-1, in which case we can add
> the config option back
