In fact, for easier compatibility this could use the same filename, but just add an expiry time, and then repeatedly update it while running.

  • Give Transport a concept of create-new vs overwrite
  • Write lease files
  • Detect stolen/lapsed leases
  • Test expiry, theft, etc
  • Periodically renew leases
  • Think about how to make this transition well from GC_LOCK
  • Integrate leases into code that writes to the archive
