Hari Shreedharan commented on FLUME-2181: ----------------------------------------- I am planning to start doing the new format once I am done with this and the mirroring patch. I feel the new format is a riskier patch. The take can actually ignore a bad put (since we know offset + length), but for sequential reader - ignoring bad data essentially means ignoring the rest of the file. > 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.
