Lars Hofhansl commented on HBASE-5954: -------------------------------------- I almost feel like the HFile sync should be enabled by default. This ensures that after an HFile is written and closed all of its blocks are sync'ed to disk. The overhead of this is "fairly" minimal. The edit-by-edit sync for the WAL is definitely optional. > Allow proper fsync support for HBase > ------------------------------------ > > Key: HBASE-5954 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-5954 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Lars Hofhansl > Assignee: Lars Hofhansl > Attachments: 5954-trunk-hdfs-trunk-v2.txt, > 5954-trunk-hdfs-trunk-v3.txt, 5954-trunk-hdfs-trunk-v4.txt, > 5954-trunk-hdfs-trunk-v5.txt, 5954-trunk-hdfs-trunk-v6.txt, > 5954-trunk-hdfs-trunk.txt, hbase-hdfs-744.txt > > -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
