Hari Shreedharan commented on FLUME-2309:
-----------------------------------------
+1. I made some changes to the patch (removed the Comparator as that was not
inline with the interface definition). I am committing this now.
> Spooling directory should not always consume the oldest file first.

> The ReliableSpoolingFileEventReader reads the oldest file in the spooling
> directory first. This is done by listing the directory contents and then
> sorting file list based on timestamp. This may be very slow if there are a
> lot of files (of the order of 100K or more) in the directory.
> However, this is not always needed, there can be simple cases in which the
> order to consume the file is not important.
> There should be an option of consuming the files in arbitrary order, allowing
> the files to be consumed quickly without any delay.
