Mike Percy commented on FLUME-2960:
-----------------------------------
I believe there was a bug found with it in some version of the JDK but I can't
find the bug report. I think any bugs with WatchService have been fixed. One
just needs to use care when using that API since the events are edge triggered.

> 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:
