Jonathan Hsieh resolved FLUME-148.
----------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
For now we suggest using unix native tail via exec("tail") which can work with
named pipes
> text source and tail source are incompatible with unix named pipes

> Key: FLUME-148
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-148
> Project: Flume
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Sinks+Sources
> Affects Versions: v0.9.0, v0.9.1
> Reporter: Jonathan Hsieh
>
> In an experiment using named pipes, we found that flume's tail and text
> sources cannot handle named pipes. This is because internally these two
> sources use RandomAccessFiles which use seek commands instead of bytewise
> streaming reads.
