KAFKA-1194: New config to specific memory mapped file update capability of underlying OS A new configuration value that can be used to indicate if the underlying OS (and environment) supports updates to memory mapped files. On windows systems, metadata updates, and rename operations fail if the file is still memory mapped. This fix will close the file if updates are not supported, and then proceeds to execute the update operations.
