             Summary: File input operator is not idempotent with closing files 
on replay
                 Key: APEXMALHAR-2254
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/APEXMALHAR-2254
             Project: Apache Apex Malhar
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Pramod Immaneni
            Assignee: Pramod Immaneni


With the file input operator, on a replay, the same data is replayed for the 
windows that are being replayed after checkpoint. To do this the operator keeps 
track of the files and offsets for every window and replays the data based on 
that. 

However, if it so happens that before the failure the processing of a file was 
finished and it was closed exactly before the end window and the next file was 
opened and processed in a new window, in the replay the closing of the first 
file does not happen in earlier window but happens in the latter window. This 
can cause problems if an operator depends on the closing file also to happen in 
an idempotent manner.

Improve the operator to save the closing and opening of files in the idempotent 
state as well so that it can also happen in an idempotent manner.
