After I read the `FSHLog` code in current master,2.x, 1.x and 0.98, I find there are always existing a single-thread consumer to call blocking `ProtobufLog.append`(eg. in master `FSHLog.RingBufferEventHandler` corresponding to `AsyncFSWAL.consumeExecutor` calls `ProtobufLog.append` in its single-thread `onEvent` method), the problem you describe already exists in `FSHLog`. One possible solution I can think of is to wrap `FSDataOutputStream` with a new `BufProtobufLogWriter` in a similar way to `AsyncProtobufLogWriter`, we just write to the internal `ByteBuffer` of `BufProtobufLogWriter` in `consumeExecutor`. When `BufProtobufLogWriter.sync` is called, we use a single-thread `FSWriter` to invoke `FSOutputStream.write`and this single-thread `FSWriter` use multiple SyncRunners to invoke `FSDataOutputstream.hflush`. `FSDataOutputstream.write` may also block this single single-thread `FSWriter`,so the queue between `consumeExecutor` and `FSWriter` is also likely to be full, once the queue is full, we could fail the sync requests and then execute syncFailed logic to retry. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
