> Does file.e.getChannel().truncate(file.getPos()) always success if no IOE throw? I saw it will return null in some conditions(NOT familiar with file system) We do depend on truncate to ensure that the data in the merged file is consistent with the metadata. If there is some partial shuffle block that has been written to the merged file but it has not been committed yet (metadata not updated), then truncate will remove that data. If there is a failure during truncation then The `FileChannel.truncate` throws exceptions, otherwise it returns the FileChannel. The javadoc for `FileChannel.truncate` indicates the same as well as the implementation `FileChannelImp.truncate()`. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
