             Summary: No indication from AbstractFileInputOperator when 
directory is empty
                 Key: APEXMALHAR-2447
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/APEXMALHAR-2447
             Project: Apache Apex Malhar
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Velineni Lakshmi Prasanna
            Assignee: Velineni Lakshmi Prasanna
            Priority: Minor


AbstractFileInputOperator scans a directory for files and outputs the file 
contents. However when the directory is empty nothing is sent. A downstream 
operator may want some basic information that the input directory is scanned, 
so for example, it can create an output folder. Add a notification to the 
operator when the directory is scanned for the first time. An implementation, 
for example, can use this notification to send a control tuple with the 
directory path notifying the downstream that the directory has been visited.
