Configuration - threading

[WANG Qingtian <qi...@gmail.com>]

A lot of newbie questions :)

How is the read/write isolation issue handled in terms of 
multi-threading? Say if some thread writes to the configuration file 
while another is reading it....

Thanks!

The implementations are not synchronized, so you'll have to be careful 
with concurrent read/write. The only part that is synchronized is the 
reloading mechanism, you can't read a property when the configuration is 
being reloaded.
