Uma Maheswara Rao G commented on HDFS-989: ------------------------------------------ flush and sync are mainly for DFS. not for local file-systems. Currently you can invoke them on dfs streams. so, closing this as invalid. If the issue intention is different, please feel free to reopen it. > Flush/sync do not work on Hadoop LocalFileSystem > ------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HDFS-989 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-989 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 0.20.1 > Reporter: Nathan Marz > > They seem to be no-ops. This is really easy to reproduce, just open a file > using FileSystem/getLocal(new Configuration()), write data to the output > stream, and then try to flush/sync. I also tried creating the output stream > with a buffer size of 1, but that had no effect. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
