[jira] [Commented] (HADOOP-15051) FSDataOutputStream returned by LocalFileSystem#createNonRecursive doesn't have hflush capability

["Steve Loughran (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-15051?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16258442#comment-16258442 ] 

Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-15051:
-----------------------------------------

that's because it doesn't hflush. it's a checksummed output stream and it doesn't write until it's got enough to checksum, or you reach the EOF. It has been like this for a very long time.

See HADOOP-13327 for adding the capability declarations to the output streams, with tests. This will allow local FS to make absolutely clear that local FS doesn't do hflush/hsync.

> See HBASE-19289 for background information.
> Here is related hbase code (fs is instance of LocalFileSystem):
> {code}
>     this.output = fs.createNonRecursive(path, overwritable, bufferSize, replication, blockSize,
>       null);
>     // TODO Be sure to add a check for hsync if this branch includes HBASE-19024
>     if (!(CommonFSUtils.hasCapability(output, "hflush"))) {
>       throw new StreamLacksCapabilityException("hflush");
> {code}
> StreamCapabilities is used to poll "hflush" capability.
> [~busbey] suggested fixing this in hadoop.
