[jira] [Commented] (IO-470) Using WatchService in Tailer instead of
polling
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-470?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15699396#comment-15699396 ]
Pascal Schumacher commented on IO-470:
--------------------------------------
I agree, we should not make WatcherService the new default. From my experience it does not work with windows remote shares.

> Project: Commons IO
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Utilities
> Affects Versions: 2.4
> Reporter: Jeremiah Orr
> Labels: Java7, Tailer
> Original Estimate: 24h

> Tailer would benefit from using Java 7's WatchService to detect file changes instead of polling at a set interval. Tailer could respond quicker to changes, and it would save the system from constant polling. This of course would mean that commons-io would require Java 7.
> I don't know what the future release plans are for commons-io; if there's an upcoming version that will require Java 7, I'll happily make this change myself.
