------------------------------------------

             Summary: [SBN Read] HDFS should expose msync() API to allow 
downstream applications call it explicetly.
                 Key: HDFS-15567
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-15567
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: ha, hdfs-client
            Reporter: Konstantin Shvachko


Consistent reads from Standby introduced {{msync()}} API HDFS-13688, which 
updates client's state ID with current state of the Active NameNode to 
guarantee consistency of subsequent calls to an ObserverNode. Currently this 
API is exposed via {{DFSClient}} only, which makes it hard for applications to 
access {{msync()}}. One way is to use something like this:
{code}
if(fs instanceof DistributedFileSystem) {
  ((DistributedFileSystem)fs).getClient().msync();
}
{code}
This should be exposed both for {{FileSystem}} and {{FileContext}}.
