> This is the proposal of implementing a new tailing source.
> This source watches the specified files, and tails them in nearly real-time
> once appends are detected to these files.
> * This source is reliable and will not miss data even when the tailing files
> rotate.
> * It periodically writes the last read position of each file in a position
> file using the JSON format.
> * If Flume is stopped or down for some reason, it can restart tailing from
> the position written on the existing position file.
> * It can add event headers to each tailing file group.
> A attached patch includes a config documentation of this.
> This source requires Unix-style file system and Java 1.7 or later.
