What does this PR do?
We need to submit the config terminator to acknowledge we've piped everything out. Done in it's own
write()
to ensure atomicity of the write. The jmxfetch will continue to greedilyread()
until the configuration terminator is received.Motivation
Feedback in the sister PR: DataDog/jmxfetch#145
Additional Notes
The local FIFO nature of the named pipes should make this process safe, a
write()
should not be lost and the configuration on the other end should be received in full. Additionally, the delivery of the config terminator - which marks the end of the "piping" procedure, should be guaranteed so there should be no real possibility of having the jmxfetch side fall in a busy-loop waiting for a terminator that will never be delivered.
