> When a file is being written, the file length keeps increasing. If the file
> is opened for read, the reader first gets the file length and then read only
> up to that length. The reader will not be able to read the new data written
> afterward.
> We propose adding a new feature so that readers will be able to read all the
> data until the writer closes the file.
