Shin, I commented on your gist with code you can use. You just need to modify it to catchup with existing data. Please treat this only as a proof of concept, and be aware you need to handle error unexpected errors like truncated files, deleted files, and so on. Also keep in mind that on OS X fs.watchFile() is still kind of slow, on Linux you will get much faster results.
