             Summary: HDFS sink: Add option to prefix .tmp files with some 
string like "_" or "."
                 Key: FLUME-1704
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-1704
             Project: Flume
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Mike Percy
             Fix For: v1.4.0


We should add the capability to the HDFS sink to specify a prefix for the .tmp 
files. I believe this needs to be configurable and disabled by default.

However we should document that we recommend "_" or "." as a prefix for the 
temp files.

This is because Hadoop's default FileInputFormat will skip files beginning with 
"_" or "."
