I think deleting the version hint and renaming a new one in its place is a good idea. I don't think that there is an atomic operation that could do this. If there was, we would use it to maintain a pointer to the version instead of just a hint. We have to delete the file, but at least a rename would ensure that readers don't use the file when it is half written. And if the rename fails, it's okay to give up. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
