Sebb created WHIMSY-204:
---------------------------
Summary: collate_minutes update check window
Key: WHIMSY-204
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WHIMSY-204
Project: Whimsy
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Sebb
collate_minutes checks to see whether there are any input files that are newer
than the index file.
If not, then it skips processing the input files.
If there are some new files, it updates the index file at the end of processing.
Since a run can take several seconds (and will only get longer as more minutes
are added), there is a window of time - between processing a file and creating
the index - during which the file can be updated. The next run will see that
the index is newer than the file so will not treat it as having changed. It
will only be picked up if it is changed again (or another file is changed).
In the worst case, it could take a month for the update to be picked up.
