Andrew Purtell updated HBASE-19024:
-----------------------------------
Environment: (was:
)
Release Note: The default durability setting for the synchronous WAL is
Durability.SYNC_WAL, which triggers HDFS hflush() to flush edits to the
datanodes. We also support Durability.FSYNC_WAL, which instead triggers HDFS
hsync() to flush _and_ fsync edits. This change introduces the new
configuration setting "hbase.wal.hsync", defaulting to FALSE, that if set to
TRUE changes the default durability setting for the synchronous WAL to
FSYNC_WAL.

> 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.
