Niall Pemberton commented on IO-269:
------------------------------------
Do you have any benchmark to back up the less efficient statement? Marcos
indicated that it was not the case in his benchmark.
Continuing to tail a file thats been renamed would be a bug (log files is a
good example of that).
The current implementation can miss rotations - thats a factor of the delay and
how fast/frequently the file is being written to. So the question really is, is
it more likely to miss rotations and I believe that goes back to the efficiency
question.

> The Tailer code works on Windows, except that it locks the file against
> deletion or rename.
> The test code fails to detect this, because it fails to check if the file
> deletion succeeds.
> This seems to be a Windows OS issue.
> A possible solution might be to keep closing and re-opening the file.
