I am doubtful of the observed 'trouble' for long flushing time. Yeah,
currently if we dd a very big file like 100G, it will flush a long long
time because we currently flush after write finishes. (we can actually
mitigate this problem by introducing background flusher in the object
cache, so it is flushing while you are writing). But for most cases, it
won't cause trouble because most of time, the cache is clean.

Thanks,
