Lars Hofhansl commented on HDFS-744:
------------------------------------
I see. In that case we wouldn't ack back until all local work in done.
A possible place to do that would be almost at the end of receivePacket(),
maybe in a finally block of the last try/catch in that method.
That still does not take of all the cases, though; for the last packet in a
block, the sync is deferred to close() (to avoid double sync). That's not hard
to to change either, I think.

> HDFS-731 implements hsync by default as hflush. As descriibed in HADOOP-6313,
> the real expected semantics should be "flushes out to all replicas and all
> replicas have done posix fsync equivalent - ie the OS has flushed it to the
> disk device (but the disk may have it in its cache)." This jira aims to
> implement the expected behaviour.
