The following options can be useful, but be careful when you use them. The risk 
of each is explained along with the explanation of what the variable does.

{quote}
_forceSync_ : (Java system property: *zookeeper.forceSync*) Requires updates to 
be synced to media of the transaction log before finishing processing the 
update. If this option is set to no, ZooKeeper will not require updates to be 
synced to the media.
{quote}
The risks for this option are not very clear. Does it only the risk of loss 
some recent committed transactions if all Zookeeper instances from an ensemble 
are crashed and restarted at almost the same time or some other problems are 
also possible?
