> "The issue is that the file close fails, but the stream on the Flume side is considered closed by HDFS. So retrying the close, is failing - which causes the rename never to be attempted. Since the rename is never attempted the file sticks around with the ".tmp" file name. "
> We should add a parameter "renameIfCloseFails", that will attempt rename even if the close fails and possibly log information that the user need to run lease recovery
