> Task JBESB-1568 identified an issue thrown up by the scheduler code, but in doing so also highlighted a secondary issue in the way that the gateway itself manages the lifecycles of the files it is processing.  Specifically... when a file "disappears" while that instance of the gateway is processing it (or about to process it).
> This could happen through a single FileGateway config before JBESB-1582 was fixed, but can still happen when multiple gateways are configured to process the same fileset in the same directory.
> The gateway should handle such contention issue more cleanly.
> Should it support multiple gateway instances processing a single fileset in a single directory?  This could be a head wrecker to get right *and prove right* on all platforms!  We could just document this as something that's not supported.  It should def be able to handle different filesets in the same dir using multiple gateway instances!
