[jira] [Commented] (HADOOP-8365) Add flag to disable durable sync

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8365?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13423257#comment-13423257 ] 

Suresh Srinivas commented on HADOOP-8365:
-----------------------------------------

Look at HDFS-3731. 2.x upgrades does not handle this functionality well. For people who did not need durable sync, by turning the feature on by default, we are causing unnecessary upgrade issues.

> Per HADOOP-8230 there's a request for a flag to disable the sync code paths that dfs.support.append used to enable. The sync method itself will still be available and have a broken implementation as that was the behavior before HADOOP-8230. This config flag should default to false as the primary motivation for HADOOP-8230 is so HBase works out-of-the-box with Hadoop 1.1.
