tinawenqiao commented on FLUME-2960: ------------------------------------ Hi, [~mpercy][~sati][~bessbd][~denes] About the consistence of regex or glob patterns in the path, I have the following three strategies. Please vote for which is better or give me some suggestions. 1. Unify regex. Whether it is a directory name or a file name, regex is only supported. 2. Unify glob. Whether it is a directory name or a file name, wildcard is only supported. 3. Wildcard is only supported in directory name, and regex is only supported in file name. > Support Wildcards in directory name in TaildirSource > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLUME-2960 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-2960 > Project: Flume > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Sinks+Sources > Affects Versions: v1.7.0 > Reporter: tinawenqiao > Assignee: tinawenqiao > Labels: wildcards > Fix For: v1.8.0 > > Attachments: FLUME-2960_1.patch, FLUME-2960_2.patch, > FLUME-2960_3.patch, FLUME-2960_4.patch, FLUME-2960_5.patch > > Original Estimate: 168h > Remaining Estimate: 168h > > 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.
