This drastically reduces the number of open file descriptors by not preemptively acquiring a file descriptor for every watched file. The downside is that the first time you edit a particular file, you may have to wait up to DEFAULT_POLLING_INTERVAL milliseconds before Meteor notices the change. The upside is that changes will be detected instantaneously for that file in the future, even after restart. If holding open too many file descriptors is indeed a contributing factor to issues such as #8648, then this change should go a long way towards mitigating those problems. cc @abernix @hwillson
Meteor is an ultra-simple environment for building modern web applications.
With Meteor you write apps:
- in pure JavaScript
- that send data over the wire, rather than HTML
- using your choice of popular open-source libraries
