Hi Maciek, Currently this functionality is not supported but this seems like a good addition. Actually, give that the feature is rather new, we were thinking of opening a discussion in the dev mailing list in order to
i) discuss some current limitations of the Continuous File Processing source ii) see how people use it and adjust our features accordingly I will let you know as soon as I open this thread. By the way for your use-case, we should probably have a callback in the notifyCheckpointComplete() that will inform the source that a given checkpoint was successfully performed and then we can purge the already processed files. This can be a good solution.
