Review request for Flume.
Bugs: FLUME-2119
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-2119
Repository: Flume
Description
-------
Added a new configuration setting "useStrictSpooledFilePolicies" to control
when the ReliableSpoolingFileEventReader thorws and IllegalStateException.
This is so that if someone understands what they are doing a spooled file can
be safely spooled more than 1 time. This will also control cases where if the
file being read is updated with a new modified date/time similarly an exception
is not thrown.
the default for this setting is "true" which means the code acts in the same
way today, honoring the spool directory requirements as documented. A user
will have to add the setting and set it to false in order to have this take
effect.
As mentioned in JIRA, Flume v1.5 does not spiral when a duplicate file is
spooled, however it will "shutdown" requiring human intervention.

Testing
-------
4 new unit tests added, existing unit tests in
TestReliableSpoolingFileEventReader not affected. Manually executed some tests
on a windows machine spooling the same named file (different contents) to
ensure no side effects.
