Aldrin Piri commented on MINIFI-102: ------------------------------------ Going to move this to NiFi. The intent is to make use of those extensions and processors as a base for MiNiFi. > Modify TailFile processor to allow Expression Language for initial file > propery > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MINIFI-102 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MINIFI-102 > Project: Apache NiFi MiNiFi > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Extensions > Reporter: Andrew Psaltis > > There are times between designign a MiNiFi flow that the initial file to be > Tailed is not know at design time. Often the design and deploy may be > seperates by days and thus non-deterministic. Therefore, the initial file > name is not known ahead of time. This could be fixed by modifying the > config.yml on the agent box when it is deployed, however, that seems to be a > more brittle solution and puts the burden on the person doing the agent > deploy. This model may also not work when the MiNiFi management facilities > are realized. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
