I thought you might get upset the other way around. This bug already
blocks a UDD counterpart (#960156). The solutions I offered to date
were stop gaps.

I do not believe that is practicable. There are other ideas below.

Such a polling technique seems likewise like a so-so solution.

I love this idea (from Jelmer), if you can make it work. We will
publish the files you consume now in real time. You can subscribe via
RabbitMQ and collect them, if that is helpful to you.

As a UDD user, I believe the data may be better off being curated in
real time, if the effort can be justified. The tables don't always
match up.

It is a speed issue. We are in the process of moving to DSA-operated
equipment. Maybe they have faster disks.
