Jerome Boulon commented on CHUKWA-185:
--------------------------------------

>> What if the user want to stream over files that were previously archived and 
>> no longer receiving updates
That one could be addressed by the backfilling tool or DirTailingAdaptor could 
be started with a "--force" flag

> ability to tail a whole directory

> Right now, FileTailingAdaptors watch particular files.   It'd be great to be 
> able to watch a whole path: to say something like /var/logs/*, where new logs 
> created in that directory get picked up.
