Jason Kushmaul commented on FLUME-2994:
---------------------------------------
I manually tested this on macOSX El Capitan, and a Windows 8.1 VM and I was
able to observe the tailed changes in files flow through to the sink.
I can provide conf file for both systems if needed.

> The current implementation of flume-taildir-source does not support windows.
> The only reason for this from what I can see is a simple call to
> Files.getAttribute(file.toPath(), "unix:ino");
> I've tested an equivalent for windows (which of course does not work on
> non-windows). With an OS switch we should be able to identify a file
> independent of file name on either system.
