Vincenzo Manzoni commented on FLUME-2911:
-----------------------------------------
Very interesting feature, Andrea!
I have applications that generate log files with different file name formats. I
am interested on transferring just some of them. So far, I had troubles on
defining _negative_ regex. This patch will make my life much easier. I hope it
will be accepted.

> Current implementation of SpoolDirectorySource does not allow users to
> specify a regex pattern to select which files should be monitored. Instead,
> the current implementation allows users to specify which should *not*
> monitored, via the ignorePattern parameter.
> I implemented the feature, allowing users to specify the include pattern as
> {{a1.sources.src-1.includePattern=^foo.*$}} (includes all the files that
> starts in "foo").
> By default, the includePattern regex is set to {{^.*$}} (all files). Include
> and exclude patterns can be used at same time and the results are combined.
