------------------------------------
Hi, Denes, I thought about the glob and regex mixed usage. Globs in directory
path are frequently used such as "\*\*". In fact, I think the fileName can use
globs too. But in current code, regular expression (and not file system
patterns) can be used for filename only. Then the mixed usage appears. Could
you give me a better design?[~sati][~bessbd][~mpercy][~denes]

> 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.*
