             Summary: File descriptor leaks in TaildirSource
                 Key: FLUME-2979
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-2979
             Project: Flume
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Sinks+Sources
    Affects Versions: v1.7.0
            Reporter: Kun Liu


TaildirSource creates ReliableTaildirEventReader object in start() method,  and 
the constructor of ReliableTaildirEventReader will try to open matched files in 
updateTailFiles(). However, If the flume process has no permission to some 
matched files, then the updateTailFiles() method throws IOException and 
interrupts the creation of ReliableTaildirEventReader object. The following 
logs show the opening of some matched files and the exception thrown when try 
to open a file with no permission.

------------logs--------------


As the creation of ReliableTaildirEventReader is interrupted, the TaildirSource 
catches the IOException and throws FlumeException in start() method, but the 
opened files are not closed, which leads to the leak of file descriptors. As 
time goes by,  the PollableSourceRunner keeps starting TaildirSource, and the 
number of opened files in flume process exceeds the upper limit, then the 'Too 
many open files' error occurs.
