Overview
--------
The goal of this module is to offer a queue system using the underlying
filesystem for storage, security and to prevent race conditions via atomic
operations. It focuses on simplicity, robustness and scalability.
This module allows multiple concurrent readers and writers to interact with
the same queue. A Perl implementation
([Directory::Queue](http://search.cpan.org/dist/Directory-Queue/))
and a Python implementation
([dirq](https://github.com/cern-mig/python-dirq))
of the same algorithm are available so readers and writers can be
written in different programming languages.
Install
-------
To install this module, run the following commands:
```bash
mvn install
# or

# get the jar from target folder
```
