They don't do that exactly. There's no restart.

This was in the links I provided upthread.

Also cited upthread. I don't know that it's method-by-method; I 
think HotSpot optimizes at finer granularity than that. The cited 
reference refers to optimizing "loops".

But it's far from prosaic. The HotSpot compiler (not to be confused with 
other JIT compilers) can switch to native-compiled code mid-execution 
while the interpreted code is running. Given that the compiler is 
aware of run-time circumstances, I don't know that it would need to 
have trouble with file handles and the sorts of things you mention.
