Hi All,

We are using org.apache.commons.io.input.Tailer to process log files for
insertion into a database.

What we are seeing is that occasionally a line fails to process because it
is incomplete.
In reviewing the code, it appears that Tailer.readLines delegates to
java.io.RandomAccessFile.readLine which returns a partial line if EOF is
reached.

Shouldn't Tailer be providing a guarantee of complete lines?
Should we create a bug report for this?

FYI, we are using 1.6.0_15 on Linux.

Thanks,

Frank Grimes
