------------------------------------

Hi [~nitiraj.rathore]

Thanks for reporting this issue. I am trying to reproduce it but seem cannot 

{noformat}
[wwei@localhost]$ echo "this is a line without ending char" > /tmp/test.log
[wwei@localhost]$ tr -d '\n' < /tmp/test.log > /tmp/test1.log
[wwei@localhost]$ cat -A /tmp/test1.log
this is a line without ending char[wwei@localhost]$

// put to hdfs and then tail
[wwei@localhost]$ ./bin/hdfs dfs -tail -f /test1.log
this is a line without ending char
{noformat}

can you help to provide more steps how to reproduce this? Thanks
