Bio::Index:: constructor should create new file if file exists

Open carandraug opened this issue 5 years ago • 0 comments

More details on issue #281 but basically, there's no option to have the constructor of this classes create a new file. If the filepath points to an existing file, it will open that file.

Even if we document that the user needs to check that the file exists and remove it, this still leads to race conditions.
