             Summary: Support the Initial Start Position property in TailFile
                 Key: MINIFICPP-1244
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MINIFICPP-1244
             Project: Apache NiFi MiNiFi C++
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Ferenc Gerlits
             Fix For: 0.8.0


The TailFile processor in NiFi Java has a property called *Initial Start Position*, with allowed values:
 * *Beginning of Time*: Start with the oldest data that matches the Rolling Filename Pattern and then begin reading from the File to Tail
 * *Beginning of File*: Start with the beginning of the File to Tail. Do not ingest any data that has already been rolled over
 * *Current Time*: Start with the data at the end of the File to Tail. Do not ingest any data that has already been rolled over or any data in the File to Tail that has already been written.

MiNiFi C++ does not have this property, and always behaves as if Beginning of File was selected. Add the *Initial Start Position* property to MiNiFi C++, with the three allowed values and behaviors as above.
