Ian Varley commented on HBASE-3696:
-----------------------------------
This confused me a bit today while trying to debug HBase replication running
locally; you have to roll the HLog in order for ReplicationSource to pick up
and replicate your edits. +1 to a fix (but, no idea what that'd be; an
implementation of sync() for LocalFileSystem?)
> No durability when running with LocalFileSystem

> LocalFileSystem in Hadoop doesn't currently implement sync(), so when we're
> running in that case, we don't have any durability. This isn't a huge deal
> since it isn't a realistic deployment scenario, but it's probably worth
> documenting. It caused some confusion for a user when a table disappeared
> after killing a standalone instance that was hosting its data in the local FS.
