------------------------------------
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

> 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.*
