Jinjiang Ling updated FLUME-3068:
---------------------------------
Description:
When using the taildir to monitor a directory, hidden files in the directory
are tailed by the source.
As the hidden files are always temp files of vim, etc. So it's necessary to
ignore the hidden file when using the taildir source.
Now Add a new configuration option named "ignoreHiddenFile", and the default
value is "false". When set it to "true", the hidden file will be ingored.
