[jira] [Updated] (FLUME-1899) Make SpoolDir work with Sub-Directories

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-1899?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Phil Scala updated FLUME-1899:
------------------------------

    Attachment: FLUM-1899-1.patch

Attached is my first patch for this issue.  I will continue to run some more tests.

The patch details:

-  A new property has been added to the SpoolDirectorySource (property name: recursiveDirectorySearch)
- the default for this setting is "false"...meaning its not enabled by default so there are no wierd side effects when moving from 1.3 to 1.4 flume agents.
- when going through directories, ignored are:
-- directories starting with "." ...  
-- any directories that match the ignore pattern (same pattern as the file ignore pattern)
- 2 new unit tests were created for this feature. 
- FlumeUserGuide updated with this new property


I waffled on one change and will chat over the dev mailing list...

the FileFilter was an anonymous instance created inline, my changes made it double in size, so I made the filter a final instance member...comments on that welcome

> SpoolrDir currently monitors a directory and can not handle sub-directories. This JIRA is to make SpoolDir able to walk down a source directory and monitor new files.
