Hi Ari,
Question below...

If the above is correct, then my next question is - how would I know when I
can reclaim the files on the local storage? How do I know when they've been
sent to the collector and thus can be deleted from local storage so as to
prevent unbounded growth of the files?
If you connect to the agent and say "list", you can see how much data
from each adaptor has been committed. If it matches the length of your
file, you can safely deregister the adaptor and delete the file.
Using 0.4.0, I never saw -- via the list command -- the file size
update. The file adapter info would be listed and then simply disappear
once the file had been transferred. The files are typically less than
1k, so it takes very little time to transfer.
What I ended up doing -- which requires no polling from my application
-- was to extend FileAdaptor with a new class named
DeleteOnSuccessFileAdaptor which after sending the chunk, deletes the
file. I think that approaches muddles the separation of concerns, but it
appears to work correctly (in prototype stage).
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Kirk
