> For opening files, change over usages of java.io.* to java.nio.file.Files
> counterparts to achieve standard behavior with Windows IFS.

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-9951
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core
> Reporter: Garth Pickell
>
> 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.
