Milind Bhandarkar commented on HDFS-1108:
-----------------------------------------
Suresh, based on your comments, you should vote -1 on this patch, because this
patch calls persistBlocks only when supportAppends or hasHA. So, why not enable
it everytime, *unless a benchmark shows serious regression* ?

> The current HDFS design says that newly allocated blocks for a file are not
> persisted in the NN transaction log when the block is allocated. Instead, a
> hflush() or a close() on the file persists the blocks into the transaction
> log. It would be nice if we can immediately persist newly allocated blocks
> (as soon as they are allocated) for specific files.
