Hi,

We are using Flume Version 1.6.0. We are facing the following issue  with 
SpoolingDirectory source.
The scenario is when we place a file with name i.e. 'x' in spool directory then 
file is read and renamed as 'x.COMPLETED'.
If we place the same file again in the spooling directory(without deleting the 
'x.COMPLETED'), the file is processed again.
But on placing the same file for a third time, the file is not processed.

We observed that the file is read for the second time  because after 
reading/processing the file for the first time, the meta file created for the 
same in .flumespool directory gets deleted.
But after the file is read for the second time, the metafile created for the 
same is not deleted after processing, hence when the file is read for the third 
time does not get processed.

Is it a required behaviour. Is there a way to stop processing the same file 
again.

Thanks
