Sean Busbey commented on HDFS-11644: ------------------------------------ We need docs on using this feature. I'd like to file a blocker on HBase 2.0 to make use of it where it is present, specifically so that we can avoid deploying the HBase WAL on filesystems that don't support hflush/hsync (such as EC). The lack of ability to reliably flush/sync doesn't appear to be called out in the Erasure Coding docs as a concern for those who might deploy it and I'd rather HBase bring the risk to operators' attention by failing fast when it finds the configuration. But I can't find any guidance on using this feature (or that it exists) in the 3.0.0-alpha4 release notes nor in the filesystem docs. I also can't tell from the javadocs on StreamCapabilities what I'm even supposed to query for to check on the fundamentals that this jira is addressing (hflush / hsync). > Support for querying outputstream capabilities > ---------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-11644 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-11644 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Bug > Components: erasure-coding > Affects Versions: 3.0.0-alpha1 > Reporter: Andrew Wang > Assignee: Manoj Govindassamy > Labels: hdfs-ec-3.0-must-do > Fix For: 2.9.0, 3.0.0-alpha4 > > Attachments: HDFS-11644.01.patch, HDFS-11644.02.patch, > HDFS-11644.03.patch, HDFS-11644-branch-2.01.patch > > > FSDataOutputStream#hsync checks if a stream implements Syncable, and if so, > calls hsync.
