Implement ability to delete file in FileAdaptor after successfully uploaded
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: CHUKWA-504
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CHUKWA-504
Project: Chukwa
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: data collection
Affects Versions: 0.4.0
Reporter: Kirk True
Priority: Minor
Attachments: FileAdaptor.patch
My client's use case is to feed lots of little data files into the Chukwa
system. They're collected first by a web API, saved to disk, and then a
locally-running agent is notified with the path to the file name.
Naturally, there's an issue of wasting disk space by keeping all the files
around on the web nodes unnecessarily. So a simple addition of an optional
"delete" parameter when adding a FileAdaptor appears to do the trick.
Forthcoming is a patch against 0.4.0 that we used to achieve this. The
parameter is optional in order to maintain compatibility.
