Hi,

after reader.dispose() the file is still locked in actual version (34.1):

File file = new File("C:\\Projects\\tmp\\tmp2\\qwf_T.tif");
GeoTiffReader reader = new GeoTiffReader(file);
GridCoverage2D grid = reader.read(null);
grid.dispose(true);
reader.dispose();

... file still locked...

Regards, Slava

Hi,

The GeoTiffReader will handle the resource management of the file. You can have 
several calls for read with params referring to different parts of the file. 
You wouldn't clutter that with calls for opening / closing the file. The code 
should look more like:

GeoTiffReader reader = new GeoTiffReader(file);
try {
    reader.read(null);
} finally {
    reader.dispose();
}
// Here you could check if the file is closed

Regards,
Roar Brænden

Hi Ian,

Been debugging, the stream (of type 
it.geosolutions.imageio.stream.eraf.EnhancedRandomAccessFile) remains not 
closed after call at org.geotools.gce.geotiff.GeoTiffReader#read():737
> pbjRead.add(maskOvrProvider.getSourceSpiProvider().getStream());
... where it is passed to JaI/ImageN

With best regards, Slava

I think that's the expected behaviour on a windows machine for any file opened 
in a program. The code clearly closes the input stream created from the file 
that is passed in so I don't think there is any reason GeoTools would be 
locking the file.

Hi everyone,

I'd like to ask if it is an intended behavior, that GeoTiffReader locks the 
file indefinitely? If yes, is there a way to read the file completely and 
"dispose" the reader and the lock?

A simple program to demonstrate:

import org.geotools.coverage.grid.GridCoverage2D;
import org.geotools.gce.geotiff.GeoTiffReader;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;

import java.io.File;
import java.time.Duration;

class GeotiffReaderTest {
   @Test
   public void read() throws Exception {
       File file = new File("C:\\Projects\\tmp\\tmp2\\qwf 2_TH.tif");
       GeoTiffReader reader = new GeoTiffReader(file);
       GridCoverage2D grid = reader.read(null);
       Thread.sleep(Duration.ofSeconds(60));
   }
}
when run, it reads the file and sleeps for a minute. Until JVM exits, the tif 
file cannot be moved or deleted:

C:\Projects\tmp\tmp2>mv "qwf 2_TH.tif" "qwf 2_TH.tif2"
/usr/bin/mv: cannot move 'qwf 2_TH.tif' to 'qwf 2_TH.tif2': Device or resource 
busy

// the problem is reproducible with geotools 34.1 and 33.0
