Benedict commented on CASSANDRA-8766:
-------------------------------------
bq, It would break the SegmentedFile contract
It's quite possible, post the SegmentedFile cleanup I recently filed that's
pending review, and with using only FileChannel or Mapped file access that we
could eliminate this historical issue. It wouldn't help on Windows due to
renaming issues, but might be a worthwhile simplification nonetheless.

> Key: CASSANDRA-8766
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-8766
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core
> Reporter: Benedict
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.1.4
>
>
> In CASSANDRA-8320, we made the rewriter call switchWriter() inside of
> finish(); in CASSANDRA-8124 was made switchWriter() open its data as EARLY.
> This combination means we no longer honour disabling of early opening, which
> is potentially a problem on windows for the deletion of the contents (which
> is why we disable early opening on Windows).
> I've commented on CASSANDRA-8124, as I suspect I'm missing something about
> this. Although I have no doubt the old behaviour of opening as TMP file
> reduced the window for problems, and opening as TMPLINK now does the same,
> it's not entirely clear to me its the right fix (though it may be) since we
> shouldn't be susceptible to this window anyway? Either way, we perhaps need
> to come up with something else, because this could potentially break windows
> support. Perhaps if we simply did not swap in the TMPLINK file so that it
> never actually get mapped, it would perhaps be enough. [~JoshuaMcKenzie],
> WDYT?
