Table Creation: Deferred Log Flush
</title>
<para>
The default behavior for Puts using the Write Ahead Log (WAL) is that <classname>HLog</classname> edits will be written immediately. If deferred log flush is used,
WAL edits are kept in memory until the flush period. The benefit is aggregated and asynchronous <classname>HLog</classname>- writes, but the potential downside is that if
the RegionServer goes down the yet-to-be-flushed edits are lost. This is safer, however, than not using WAL at all with Puts.

Deferred log flush can be configured on tables via <link
xlink:href="http://hbase.apache.org/apidocs/org/apache/hadoop/hbase/HTableDescriptor.html">HTableDescriptor</link>. The default value of <varname>hbase.regionserver.optionallogflushinterval</varname> is 1000ms.
