xueqiang wang commented on KAFKA-1646:
--------------------------------------
Yes, Windows will fully preallocate all the blocks, and it also doesn't assign
zeros for these preallocated blocks.
If broker is gracefully stopped, the active segment should be truncated off on
broker restart. So it is a bug and the new patch is to fix it. Thanks a lot!

> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: log
> Affects Versions: 0.8.1.1
> Environment: Windows
> Reporter: xueqiang wang
> Labels: newbie, patch
> Attachments: Improve consumer read performance for Windows.patch
>
>
> This patch is for Window platform only. In Windows platform, if there are
> more than one replicas writing to disk, the segment log files will not be
> consistent in disk and then consumer reading performance will be dropped down
> greatly. This fix allocates more disk spaces when rolling a new segment, and
> then it will improve the consumer reading performance in NTFS file system.
> This patch doesn't affect file allocation of other filesystems, for it only
> adds statements like 'if(Os.iswindow)' or adds methods used on Windows.
