The length of an unbuffered channel is always zero, and all checked channels are unbuffered, so all flush does is a transient synchronization with the writeProc and bufferProc goroutines. Remove the unnecessary logic. Signed-off-by: Peter A. Bigot <[email protected]>
Flush() is documented to force all pending writes from the buffer to be sent. It does force pending writes in the buffer to be submitted for send, but if there is a pending retry with an unexpired timeout it won't actually send anything. Make Flush() more useful by having it trigger a re-examination of the retry queue and initiating a retry immediately. Depending on whether the documented behavior was intentional, this operation might be better implemented as an additional WriteAPI method FlushAll(). Signed-off-by: Peter A. Bigot <[email protected]>

After further consideration this doesn't meet my needs: it avoids data loss in successful reconnection cases, but on shutdown the flush operation would provide a callback only for one queued batch per flush, so recovery of submitted data would be tedious. Also the fact that the batch processing will discard data without programmatically notifying the client if the queue length gets too long is a showstopper. So I'm going to stick with the blocking API. |

Closes #289
Closes #290
Proposed Changes
After completing standard flush operations that move points from the buffer to queued batch, trigger a re-examination of retries rather than waiting for a timeout.
Also incorporates the cleanup patch for #290.
Checklist
I'll address these if it appears this is an acceptable solution to the problem described in #289.
