stack commented on HADOOP-5744:
-------------------------------

A few comments and questions:

Document is without context.  It is undated and has no author. In particular, I'd think there'd be some positioning of this document in relation to previous append work (Is hadoop-4379, etc., dead?  Are we starting over as the name of this issue portends.  If starting over, is 0.21 fix version optimistic?).

What kind of 'delay' are we talking about here do you think in the section Read, item #4 ? "If a writer/appender does not call hflush, a reader can still progressively see previously written data with a delay"

> HADOOP-1700 and related issues have put a lot of efforts to provide the first implementation of append. However, append is such a complex feature. It turns out that there are issues that were initially seemed trivial but needs a careful design. This jira revisits append, aiming for a design and implementation supporting a semantics that are acceptable to its users.
