Allow configuring a limit on the number of outstanding dirty blocks #12

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
s3backer currently allows an unlimited number of blocks in the block cache
to be dirty at the same time.

Some situations may want to limit this number to avoid the degree of
inconsistency that can occur in case of a crash.

Suggest adding a new flag `--blockCacheMaxDirty=NUMBLOCKS`. When a new
write was attempted while the maximum number of dirty blocks had already
been reached, then the subsequent write would block.

Added new flag `--blockCacheMaxDirty` in r398.
