Hi, tomorrow in Italy is a national feast, so everything will be closed. From my side I have these outstanding activities: - the XrdClient side parallel open feature is able to handle all my stress test, os I consider it stable. To be tested by someone else from now on. - I agreed with Gerri about a semi-transparent way to use the parallel open from TXNetFile. The point is that many I/O related tasks in ROOT are incompatible with the concept of asynchronous open. Even simple things like Map() rely on the fact that the open phase has been completed. The idea is to do as follows: - In ROOT the default open mode is "synchronous", as before - If the "async" one is explicitly choosen, before calling any ROOT function on a file, the programmer has to check if it is open. The check, internally, waits for the completion of the open phase. I am about to finish with the changes needed, then I'll make a bunch of tests. - After that, as agreed last week, I'll write down a simple plugin API to make xrdcp able to send monitoring info to external applications.
