Hi Patrick,
I was hoping that someone else would chime in and share an opinion, but
since no one
followed up, here is mine, to get started: this change breaks backward
compatibility,
which is bad enough, and also makes for hard to locate issues if people
forget to close
down writers properly (as often happens), which is worse.

So my position is to have this behavior disabled by default, and enabled by
a flag or parameter.
Having a configurable batching size, defaulting to 1, would probably be a
good way, with
some documentation explaining the benefits and risks of increasing the
batch size to a
value greater than one

Cheers
Andrea
