[jira] [Created] (WHIMSY-204) collate_minutes update check window

Sebb created WHIMSY-204:
---------------------------

             Summary: collate_minutes update check window
                 Key: WHIMSY-204
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WHIMSY-204
             Project: Whimsy
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Sebb


collate_minutes checks to see whether there are any input files that are newer than the index file.

If not, then it skips processing the input files.
If there are some new files, it updates the index file at the end of processing.

Since a run can take several seconds (and will only get longer as more minutes are added), there is a window of time - between processing a file and creating the index - during which the file can be updated.  The next run will see that the index is newer than the file so will not treat it as having changed. It will only be picked up if it is changed again (or another file is changed).

In the worst case, it could take a month for the update to be picked up.
