If I have a write operation that takes a while between opening and closing the file, what is the effect of a node doing that writing crashing in the middle? For example, suppose I have large logs that I write to continually, rolling them every N minutes (say every hour for the sake of discussion). If I have the file opened and am 90% done my writes and things crash, what happens to the data I've "written" ... realizing that at some level, data isn't visible to the rest of the cluster until the file is closed.
