[HTCondor-users] what if transfer of input files fails ?

[Stefano Belforte <stefano.belforte@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Experts,

I have a situation where many jobs are submitted using a common
file listed in `transfer_input_files`.
Due to my own thing that file can be changed even while jobs
are being submitted (it is a tarball, some things may get added for
newer jobs from new subdags).  I have never noticed a problem, but am
curious to know it that was luck, lack of attention, or a feature !
What happens if file is being written while
condor tries to transfer it. Will it simply try again ? Possibly
evicting and re-queuing the starting job ?

Thanks

Stefano
