 Accumulo 1.4.5-SNAPSHOT has been tested with hadoop version 0.20.2 and
 0.20.203.0.
 
+Additionally, it is strongly recommended that you enable 'dfs.datanode.synconclose'
+(only available in Apache Hadoop >=1.1.1 or >=0.23) in your hdfs-site.xml configuration 
+file to ensure that, in the face of unexpected power loss to a datanode, files are 
+wholly synced to disk.

 The example accumulo configuration files are placed in directories based on the 
 memory footprint for the accumulo processes.  If you are using native libraries
 for you tablet server in-memory map, then you can use the files in "native-standalone".
