------------------------------------------
> Add a native mode to tail.
> --------------------------
>
> Key: FLUME-693
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-693
> Project: Flume
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: v0.9.4
> Reporter: Jonathan Hsieh
>
> There are certain uncharacterized situations where tail may reset and cause
> large numbers of duplicates. A current work-around is to use exec("tail -F
> <file>") instead of tail/tailDir. This jira would ideally create a
> (platform-specific) mechanism to properly tail a file by going to jni or
> executing processes under the covers while preserving the tail/tailDir api.
