"""Script to stress test rapid JSON DB writes.

1. When reading from disk, flock(LOCK_SH) is used on the file handle.
2. When writing to disk:
   a. A lock is acquired in a Redis instance as added protection
   b. File is locked with LOCK_EX during the write
   c. After the file is written (while still Redis-locked), it attempts to read
      the file again immediately (LOCK_SH) to verify that it wrote successfully

Accessing the value for an undefined key will return None (Python's equivalent
to undefined).
