Abstract
Data lock transitioning associated with writing of files can be performed and managed. In connection with a write operation to write a portion of a file to a node of a node network, an access management component (AMC) can analyze file-related information indicative of a status associated with the portion of the file, wherein the status can relate to whether the file portion is associated with a streaming write, whether a protocol indication indicates a file handle associated with the file has been closed, or whether an advisory lock has been released by a client device. The AMC can determine whether to transition from an exclusive data lock associated with the portion of the file to a shared data lock with respect to the portion of the file, based on a result of analyzing the file-related information. The AMC can fine tune determinations or predictions of data lock transitions.
