Looks good. Not a (R)eviewer.

> Summary: The periodic task operation runs in Java checking the file size of the current chunk. This produces unnecessary exposure and noise by the JFR framework itself. It is especially interesting that the path to check the size of a file produces a memory allocation trace....most likely some effect of autoboxing and lambda constructions...
