Denes Arvay commented on FLUME-2960:
------------------------------------
Hi [~wenqiao], thanks for the patch. I haven't checked the reviewboard in
details yet, but one question popped into my mind: is there any specific reason
for choosing glob pattern instead of regex?
You get the expected result with the current implementation but for the first
sight I found it a bit confusing having regexes and glob patterns together.

> In our log management project, we wan't to track many log files like this:
> /app/dir1/log.*
> /app/dir2/log.*
> ...
> /app/dirn/log.*
> But TaildirSource can't support wildcards in filegroup directory name. The
> following config is expected:
> a1.sources.r1.filegroups.fg = /app/\*/log.*
