--------------------------------
Hmm, not sure how to patch this since we close the writer before renaming the
file.
> Unable to rename replication offset checkpoint in windows

> Key: KAFKA-1036
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1036
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 0.8
> Environment: windows
> Reporter: Timothy Chen
> Priority: Critical
> Labels: windows
>
> Although there was a fix for checkpoint file renaming in windows that tries
> to delete the existing checkpoint file if renamed failed, I'm still seeing
> renaming errors on windows even though the destination file doesn't exist.
> A bit investigation shows that it wasn't able to rename the file since the
> kafka jvm still holds a fie lock on the tmp file and wasn't able to rename
> it.
> Attaching a patch that calls a explict writer.close so it can release the
> lock and can able to rename it.
