Randall Theobald updated IO-530:
--------------------------------
Attachment: io-530.patch
Simple patch to add delay to the tight loop.
> Tailer pegs CPU if file disappears and doesn't come back

> I ran into a situation where a bug in my log rotation leads to the tailed
> file being renamed, but the original file name does not re-appear (new log
> entries still go to the renamed log file). This uncovered a bug in the Tailer
> class. In this case, tailer enters a tight loop trying to re-open the file:
> {code}
> while (getRun()) {
> final boolean newer = FileUtils.isFileNewer(file, last); //
> IO-279, must be done first
> // Check the file length to see if it was rotated
> final long length = file.length();
> if (length < position) {
> // File was rotated
> listener.fileRotated();
> // Reopen the reader after rotation ensuring that the old
> file is closed iff we re-open it
> // successfully
> try (RandomAccessFile save = reader) {
> reader = new RandomAccessFile(file, RAF_MODE);
> // At this point, we're sure that the old file is
> rotated
> // Finish scanning the old file and then we'll start
> with the new one
> try {
> readLines(save);
> } catch (IOException ioe) {
> listener.handle(ioe);
> }
> position = 0;
> } catch (final FileNotFoundException e) {
> // in this case we continue to use the previous
> reader and position values
> listener.fileNotFound();
> }
> continue;
> {code}
> Since a non-existent file returns a length of zero, we keep entering this top
> loop, trying to open the missing file, getting a FileNotFoundException and
> starting over.
> There should be some delay here.
