             Summary: Processor to tail files
                 Key: NIFI-994
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-994
             Project: Apache NiFi
          Issue Type: New Feature
    Affects Versions: 0.4.0
            Reporter: Joseph Percivall


It's a very common data ingest situation to want to input text into the system 
by "tailing" a file, most commonly log files. Currently we don't have an easy 
way to do this. 

A simple processor to tail a file would benefit many users. There would need to 
be an option to not just tail a file but pick up where the processor left off 
if it is interrupted.
