Brock Noland commented on FLUME-2181: ------------------------------------- Ideally I'd only like to implement this if we implement the new format since it was have built in checksum. In the case of disabling fsyncs I think both take() of a bad event and sequential reader should just ignore bad data. > Optionally disable File Channel fsyncs > --------------------------------------- > > Key: FLUME-2181 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-2181 > Project: Flume > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Hari Shreedharan > Assignee: Hari Shreedharan > Attachments: FLUME-2181.patch > > > This will give File Channel performance a big boost, at the cost of possible > data loss if a crash happens between checkpoints. > Also we should make it configurable, with default to false. If the user does > not mind slight inconsistencies, this feature can be explicitly enabled > through configuration. So if it is not configured, then the behavior will be > exactly as it is now. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.4#6159)
