Pushkar Raste commented on FLUME-2856:
--------------------------------------
I have a patch, however to support *maxHistory* feature (i.e. to delete older
files) I had to be able to predict file names. I introduced new required
property for {{RollingFileSink}} called *fileName*. This is the only backwards
incompatible change from end users point of view. I have also made a couple of
backwards incompatible changes to {{PathManager}} class. However
{{PathManager}} class is not being used by any class other than
{{RollingFileSink}} class.
I am open to rewrite some of the changes if people think refactoring will cause
any issues. I would also like to know if there is any standard procedure to
submit the patch.

> It would also be great to delete old files
