ability to create a file whose newly allocated blocks are automatically persisted immediately ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HDFS-1108 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-1108 Project: Hadoop HDFS Issue Type: Improvement Components: name-node Reporter: dhruba borthakur Assignee: dhruba borthakur The current HDFS design says that newly allocated blocks for a file are not persisted in the NN transaction log when the block is allocated. Instead, a hflush() or a close() on the file persists the blocks into the transaction log. It would be nice if we can immediately persist newly allocated blocks (as soon as they are allocated) for specific files. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
