ASF subversion and git services commented on FLUME-2498: -------------------------------------------------------- Commit 757a560db73c2e6fbec56deea4c753a45ccf9032 in flume's branch refs/heads/trunk from [~roshan_naik] [ https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=flume.git;h=757a560 ] FLUME-2498. Implement Taildir Source (Satoshi Iijima via Roshan Naik) > Implement Taildir Source > ------------------------ > > Key: FLUME-2498 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-2498 > Project: Flume > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Sinks+Sources > Reporter: Satoshi Iijima > Fix For: v1.7.0 > > Attachments: FLUME-2498-2.patch, FLUME-2498-3.patch, > FLUME-2498-4.patch, FLUME-2498-5.patch, FLUME-2498.patch > > > This is the proposal of implementing a new tailing source. > This source watches the specified files, and tails them in nearly real-time > once appends are detected to these files. > * This source is reliable and will not miss data even when the tailing files > rotate. > * It periodically writes the last read position of each file in a position > file using the JSON format. > * If Flume is stopped or down for some reason, it can restart tailing from > the position written on the existing position file. > * It can add event headers to each tailing file group. > A attached patch includes a config documentation of this. > This source requires Unix-style file system and Java 1.7 or later. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
