Hi folks, I've been having some difficulty coming up with a scheme for writing to files in a thread-safe manner. The files are named with the hash of their content, so they are effectively immutable.
The problem comes with writing them for the first time. I need to ensure that while a file is initially being written, no other thread attempts to read or write to the file. The best solution I've come up with so far is to write to a temporary file, then rename the file to its hash once it has been closed. This seems to work, but I'd be very interested to know how other people have handled similar concurrent I/O problems in Clojure. - James --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
