> So in windows, the JVM tends to open files without FILE_SHARE_DELETE when using the older java.io.* components. This, I think, is a problem for Cassandra in that:
> a) it is not standard behavior.
> b) Cassandra kind of relies on this a lot as you routinely see problems in the log regarding renaming of files or deleting of files.
> I don't think this is a bad design by any means, but Windows users will tend to experience many problems in the areas of commit log cleanups and compaction.
> However, if you use the java.nio.file.Files class instead for opening files. These methods use FILE_SHARE_DELETE.
> I have personally tested this, and I have done some poking around in the Cassandra source which leads me to believe that changing over these usages would be relatively easy.
