Harsh J commented on HADOOP-8365: --------------------------------- Eli, One clarification post the HADOOP-8320 ones, for this particular part in the description: bq. The sync method itself will still be available and have a broken implementation as that was the behavior before HADOOP-8230. But sync() does not have a broken implementation as has been shown from its users. I do not understand that sentence completely, as HADOOP-8230 did not change any sync()-related code, so whatever was _working_ or _broken_ before is still the very same and will be even after what this issue aims to change. > Provide ability to disable working sync > --------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-8365 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8365 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 1.1.0 > Reporter: Eli Collins > Priority: Blocker > > Per HADOOP-8230 there's a request for a flag to disable the sync code paths > that dfs.support.append used to enable.

This config flag should default to false as the primary > motivation for HADOOP-8230 is so HBase works out-of-the-box with Hadoop 1.1. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
