Hi, thanks for your reply Dhruba,
One of my co-workers is writing a BigTable-like application that could be
used for online, near-real-time, services. 
Can your co-worker be convinced to instead spend his time helping-along 
the ongoing bigtable-like efforts?
I think HBase developers would have run into similar issues as well.
  
In hbase, we open the file once and keep it open.  File is shared 
amongst all clients.
