Thanks Pranith for the details. So with that option one would be trading data consistency with performance. I am now interested to hear about Nico's new tests with this option disabled...

Dear Pranith

I would be interested to know what the cluster.ensure-durability off option does, could you explain or point to the documentation?
By default replication translator does fsyncs on the files at certain times so that it doesn't lose data when the filesystem crashes and changelogs that afr stores are corrupted. This is introduced from 3.5.x on wards.

Could you repeat the test on 3.6.2 with 'volume set <volname>
cluster.ensure-durability off' option and post the results.
