[jira] [Commented] (AVRO-1388) Avro container files should allow fsync-ing files to disk

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1388?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13799270#comment-13799270 ] 

Doug Cutting commented on AVRO-1388:
------------------------------------

Yes, this would be a very useful addition.  We could either add out.getFD().sync() directly to DataFileWriter.flush(), or add a new method for this.  Are there cases where folks might currently call flush() but not want to force an fsync?

> Another feature we require in Avro data files in addition to AVRO-1387 is that we be able to fsync the files to disk. Currently we cannot do this, but this can be achieved without API changes. If there are no objections,  I will submit a patch
