It is used to keep track of whether the current thread has a stream object for a certain file (`DefaultFileContent`) open. This is needed to implement `FileContent.isOpen()`, which in turn gets called by `AbstractFileContent.isContentOpen()`, which is only used by `LRUFilesCache` to check whether eviction shall be blocked. Don't ask me why it only checks for stream objects of the current thread... no idea. None of this makes a lot of sense to me, it seems like a bad hack. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
