> As per discussion in HDFS-3960 and HDFS-2802, when clients that need strong
> consistency update the file length at the NameNode, a special sync/flush is
> required for getting the length of the being written files when snapshots are
> taken for these files. This jira implements this sync-with-updating-length by
> 1) calling ClientProtocol#fsync(), and 2) adding a new field to
> ClientProtocol#fsync() to indicate the length information.
