westonpace opened a new issue, #5800:
URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/issues/5800
**Describe the bug**
The local filesystem implementation of `list_with_delimiter` is a two step
process:
* First, `walkdir` is used to get the filenames
* Second, `convert_entry` is called to get the metadata for each file
If a file is deleted between the first and second step then
`list_with_delimiter` will return an error:
```
Generic LocalFileSystem error: Unable to access metadata for
tmp/pytest-of-pace/pytest-3/test_compact_with_write_82_1000/dataset/_versions/.tmp_7.manifest_9c100374-3298-4537-afc6-f5ee7913666d
```
Note, I suspect that `walkdir` itself may fail if an entire directly is
deleted while `walkdir` is iterating. This may be an issue that cannot be
cleanly solved without writing a custom walk dir implementation that catches
and swallows "file not found" errors.
**To Reproduce**
Create a dataset with a lot of files
In one thread call `list_with_delimiter`
In another thread start deleting the files in the dataset
**Expected behavior**
There is no error. Either the file is returned with metadata, or no file is
returned.
**Additional context**
