Fix a race condition introduced in unknown commit (that is, the January of 2009!).

If a "blaze clean --expunge" was run concurrently with another command (that was waiting for the lock), it's possible that the clean command deletes the lock file, the new server starts up, then the JVM shutdown hooks delete the PID files from the *new* server.

There is still a slight possibility of a race condition if the lock is deleted then IOException occurs which prevents the BlazeShutdownException from being raised, but I'd rather not introduce another channel from command implementations to RPCServer to close that loophole.

This issue was triggered by commit 5a78166ee4edbd295f5d5fdb94785025285e764b, after which the PID files for the new server are written a bit more early, thus increasing the time window in which the race condition can happen.

Bazel (Beta)

{Fast, Correct} - Choose two

Bazel is a build tool that builds code quickly and reliably. It is used to build the majority of Google‘s software, and thus it has been designed to handle build problems present in Google’s development environment, including:

  • A massive, shared code repository, in which all software is built from source. Bazel has been built for speed, using both caching and parallelism to achieve this. Bazel is critical to Google's ability to continue to scale its software development practices as the company grows.

  • An emphasis on automated testing and releases. Bazel has been built for correctness and reproducibility, meaning that a build performed on a continuous build machine or in a release pipeline will generate bitwise-identical outputs to those generated on a developer's machine.

  • Language and platform diversity. Bazel's architecture is general enough to support many different programming languages within Google, and can be used to build both client and server software targeting multiple architectures from the same underlying codebase.
