nkeywal commented on HBASE-6461:
--------------------------------
@Ram
Thanks a lot!
@Lars
bq. I thought HBase neither uses nor needs "append" (the reason for initial
using the append branch was that it also had the sync patches).
Yes, the log line is actually confusing, you just need to have someone writing
a file and someone else reading it.
bq. Is this only a special case for the WAL when we start to replay the edits,
when the file is not closed, yet, because the writer died?
I think so. Even if I wonder if we could not have similar stuff for large store
hfiles + crashes, even if on paper it should be ok.
