When I restart a flume agent with a file channel (ctrl^c to stop the process), I get the following warning when the channel is empty (not sure what happens otherwise):
Checkpoint for file(<path>) is: 1358539648673, which is beyond the requested checkpoint time: 1358539648673 and position 0 Looking at the code for that warning (link<https://github.com/apache/flume/blob/trunk/flume-ng-channels/flume-file-channel/src/main/java/org/apache/flume/channel/file/LogFile.java#L462>), it looks like it always appears when the file channel is empty (rather, when the checkpoint position is the beginning of the file). Is that necessary? - Connor
