>
> The TailFile processor has a property that is named "Rolling Strategy." It
> has two allowable values "Fixed name" or "Changing name." I was unable to
> understand from the documentation what the intent of the property was, so I
> began to read the code in order to understand so that I could better update
> the documentation. However, looking through the code, I found that the
> property was only ever looked at in the customValidate method and never used
> for any logic within the processor.
> Therefore, this property needs to be removed from the processor, since it
> adds complexity to the processor's configuration and doesn't actually affect
> the behavior of the processor itself.
