             Summary: 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: Core Framework
    Affects Versions: 0.0.1
            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.
