I don't think we are going to change stats file management in older versions. Hence after every crash recovery they will be thrown away. In that case, why should stats collector in the older versions wait for those files to be flushed to the disk? I think, we should apply patch to shut down stats collector immediately to the older versions and implement the stats file management solution to the head. Why isn't that a feasible option?
