NIFI-1170 - Improved TailFile processor to support multiple files tailing
Modifications should not break backward compatibility.
Two modes: single file (default) or multi files.
In case of multi files mode, a base directory property is required.
This will be the base directory to recursively look for the files to
tail. Since this lookup can be consuming, I assumed that files to tail
must exist when starting the processor.
The rolling file pattern now accepts the â${filename}â keyword to
reference
the original filename (without the extension). This is useful when
defining the rolling file pattern for multiple files in the same
directory. It obviously supposes that all the files to tail have a
similar rolling pattern. Besides the rolling file must be plain text
(no compression supported so far, this is wip).
This PR includes the modifications proposed in PR #490.
