> The HDFS Append Design (HADOOP-1700) requires that there be a public API to flush data written to a HDFS file that can be invoked by an application. This API (popularly referred to a fflush(OutputStream)) will ensure that data written to the DFSOutputStream is flushed to datanodes and any required metadata is persisted on Namenode.
> This API has to handle the case when the client decides to flush after writing data that is not a exact multiple of io.bytes.per.checksum.
