             Summary: ContinuousFileMonitoringFunction wrongly ignores files with exact same timestamp
                 Key: FLINK-8046
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-8046
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Streaming
    Affects Versions: 1.3.2
            Reporter: Juan Miguel Cejuela
             Fix For: 1.5.0


The current monitoring of files sets the internal variable `globalModificationTime` to filter out files that are "older". However, the current test (to check "older") does 

`boolean shouldIgnore = modificationTime <= globalModificationTime;` (rom `shouldIgnore`)

The comparison should strictly be SMALLER (NOT smaller or equal). The method documentation also states "This happens if the modification time of the file is _smaller_ than...".

The equality acceptance for "older", makes some files with same exact timestamp to be ignored. The behavior is also non-deterministic, as the first file to be accepted ("first" being pretty much random) makes the rest of files with same exact timestamp to be ignored.
