> There is no call for wanting fsync per message, it is an anti pattern and isn’t done because it isn’t necessary

1. Don't have to do it by message

2. It's used by many distributed db engines, kafka and (i think) zk are the outliers here, not the other way around

[eternalban]

Kafka is not a "db engine". zk is a "db engine" in the same way 'DNS' is a "db engine".

Oh, DNS is definitely a database engine [1] ;)

Ah yes, the semantic argument. Fyi - pulsar and etcd do use fsync

[eternalban]

No one is arguing with you. You were making an argument based on a misinformed software category assertion and the error was pointed out. So r/fyi/til maybe?
