+Subject: [PATCH] Flush regionfiles on save configuration option
+
+The windows file system does not write metadata unless
+the FileChannel is explicitly flushed with metaData=true.
+
+Note: Setting SYNC (not DSYNC) on the FileChannel does not appear
+to write the metadata.
+
+Specifically, we are interested in writing the last modified
+timestamp so that fs watchers can detect when RegionFiles are
+modified.
