Karl Wright commented on CONNECTORS-1028:
-----------------------------------------
File-based synch is still in use in some installations, and seems to provide a
good fallback if zookeeper fails for some reason.
> File-based synchronization no longer working properly on Windows 7 systems
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: CONNECTORS-1028
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONNECTORS-1028
> Project: ManifoldCF
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Framework core
> Affects Versions: ManifoldCF 1.7
> Reporter: Karl Wright
> Assignee: Karl Wright
> Fix For: ManifoldCF 2.0
>
>
> Windows 7 now seems to have some kind of broken file caching which defeats
> file-based locking almost completely. I'm not sure what windows update
> applied this, but starting the agents process seems to pick up state that has
> manifestly been deleted from the file system.
> For MCF 2.0, it's probably a good idea to get rid of file-based synch
> entirely, and require people to use ZooKeeper instead.
