HeartSaVioR edited a comment on issue #23782: [SPARK-26875][SS] Add an option 
on FileStreamSource to include modified files
URL: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/23782#issuecomment-463866912
 
 
   Maybe @gaborgsomogyi is considering more than what it is as of now. 
Currently #22952 is implemented as synchronous approach, but @gaborgsomogyi had 
his voice to make archiving/deletion being async in #22952 (we talked about 
dealing with it in next TODO), and it's based on the assumption that we never 
process the file again even same file is added as new.
   
   When the option is turned on, it breaks assumption and things will get 
changed very differently - including race condition what @gaborgsomogyi is 
stated. When we are hit by race condition It would produce unintended result 
(maybe worse scenario would be archive/delete a new file before processing 
which end users expect to get them processed).
   (EDIT: Looks like things will be same even without asynchronous approach.)
   
   Race condition still occurs between Spark and FileSystem even without this 
feature (just in #22952), but that's not Spark can control and Spark just 
should make its best to archive/delete faster before others overwrite/delete 
them. It doesn't still break query semantic or output even we are hit by race 
condition.
