- Spark Streaming will monitor the directory `dataDirectory` and process
any files created in that directory (files written in nested directories not
supported). Note that
-
- + The files must have the same data format.
- + The files must be created in the `dataDirectory` by atomically
*moving* or *renaming* them into
- the data directory.
- + Once moved, the files must not be changed. So if the files are
being continuously appended, the new data will not be read.
-
+ Spark Streaming will monitor the directory `dataDirectory` and process
any files created in that directory.
+
+ + A simple directory can be supplied (`hdfs://namenode:8040/logs/`).
All files directly
+ underneath this path will be processed as they are discovered.
+ + A regular expression can be supplied instead, such as
+ `s3a://bucket/logs/[2015,2016]-??-??-friday`.
