Review request for ranger.


Repository: ranger


Description
-------

The reason is that HDFS file stream's flush() call does not really flush the 
data all the way to disk, nor even makes the data visible to HDFS users. See 
the HDFS semantics of the flush/sync at 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6313.
Consequently the audit logs on HDFS won't be visible/durable from HDFS client 
until the log file is closed. This will, among other issues, boost chances of 
losing audit logs in case of system failure.
