Pull Request overview
Expand file lock scope to resolve concurrency issues during downloads
Details
We want to use a network file system as the cache directory (HF_HOME). After testing various network file systems(such as NFS), we observed strange errors when multiple requests concurrently download the same file.
We found that some symlink operations are protected by locks, while others are not, which can lead to conflicts.
In particular, on file systems that lack symlink support, symlink operations degrade into copy and mv commands, which further exacerbate these conflicts.
Therefore, I created this PR to expand the scope of the flock in order to resolve these conflicts.
