> New source to be able to tail a file. There's a extra file when it saves the
> last offset until it has been read. So, it Flume is down, it could read the
> data it lost. It has been implemented control about rotated files.
> The possible variables to configure this source are:
> -BufferSize gives us the possibility to send little to little.
> -Separator to cut the lines wherever we want to to generate our events.
> -WatchedFile to indicate what file we want to watch.
> -RotatedFile to indicate where the wacthed file is going to rotate.
> -Type of events to indicate if we generate one event per line or we want to
> group many lines and just emit one event.
