Hi,<br>
<br>
Kimchi uses a lock to do operations in the virtual machines.<br>
But I think you want a generic solution for any Resource or
Collection, if so, there is no built in support for it yet.<br>
<br>
I don't see any reason to have a lock on a Collection as only GET
and POST methods are allowed in it.<br>
And the POST action is only to create a new Resource in the given
Collection.<br>
<br>
About your solution, I don't think we need a file. We can use
threading.Lock() to do that.<br>
<br>
