{code}
+ public static final String WAL_HSYNC_CONF_KEY = "hbase.wal.hsync";

+ public static final boolean DEFAULT_WAL_HSYNC = false;

{code}
Putting them in HRegion is more suitable as the {{HConstants}} is an
anti-pattern.
> provide a configurable option to hsync WAL edits to the disk for better

> At present we do not have an option to hsync WAL edits to the disk for better
> durability. In our local tests we see 10-15% latency impact of using hsync
> instead of hflush which is not very high.
> We should have a configurable option to hysnc WAL edits instead of just
> sync/hflush which will call the corresponding API on the hadoop side.
> Currently HBase handles both SYNC_WAL and FSYNC_WAL as the same calling
> FSDataOutputStream sync/hflush on the hadoop side. This can be modified to
> let FSYNC_WAL call hsync on the hadoop side instead of sync/hflush. We can
> keep the default value to sync as the current behavior and hsync can be
> enabled based on explicit configuration.
