Eli Collins commented on HDFS-978:
----------------------------------
FSNameSystem#getAdditionalBlock currently doesn't sync the log, it will need to
once block allocations are logged.
> Record every new block allocation of a file into the transaction log.

> HDFS should record every new block allocation (of a file) into its
> transaction logs. In the current code, block allocations are persisted only
> when a file is closed or hflush-ed. This feature will enable HDFS writers to
> survive namenode restarts.
