Vijay Singh commented on FLUME-2703:
------------------------------------

I beleive this is okay as it is configuration driven and power is in hands of 
user as default behavior will be hdfs.appendTimeCounter = True.

> HDFS sink: Ability to exclude time counter in fileName via sink configuration

> HDFS sinks always append time counter to filenames which is not configurable.
> In some use cases, it is desirable to retain the original filename. 
> For e.g. While ingesting a blob using Spool directory source, it's desirable 
> to retain the original filename (basename) in HDFS.  
> This patch allows to configure a HDFS sink to override this behavior 
> retaining the backward compatible file naming convention by default i.e,
> hdfs.appendTimeCounter = false
