Guillaume Nodet commented on FELIX-1572:
----------------------------------------
I think I've reproduced the problem, but it's not a loop that really consumes
much cpu.
What happens is that fileinstall is watching the /foo/bar directory, sees a
configuration file and give it to the config admin. The config admin then tell
fileinstall that its configuration has changed, and fileinstall update the
DirectoryWatcher accordingly.
This means that at each poll interval, the directory watcher will be recreated.
Not sure what we can do for that.

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-1572
> Project: Felix
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: File Install
> Affects Versions: fileinstall-1.0.0, fileinstall-1.2.0, fileinstall-2.0.0
> Environment: generic
> Reporter: Ajay Kumar
>
> Felix File install runs in an infinite loop, if you put a configuration file
> to watch itself
> Steps to reproduce
> 1. Configure file install to watch /foo/bar directory
> 2. Put a new configuration file e.g org.apache.felix.fileinstall-<pid>.cfg in
> /foo/bar directory in order to watch multiple directories. If the value of
> felix.fileinstall.dir inside the configuration file is anything but
> /foo/bar, it works great.
> However if you modify the value of felix.fileinstall.dir to /foo/bar
> (meaning the same directory which file install is watching), it runs in an
> infinite loop
