>        When Tailer considers file rotation is occurred, listener.fileRotated() will be execute, and file will re-open by "reader = new RandomAccessFile(file, RAF_MODE);". However, the new file may not be created yet, FileNotFoundException would be caught and while loop would be executed again and again until the new file is actually created, which cause listener.fileRotated() triggered repeatedly. 
> This is the piece of code causing the problem:
> {noformat} 
> while (getRun()) {
>     final boolean newer = isFileNewer(file, last); // IO-279, must be done first
>     // Check the file length to see if it was rotated
>     final long length = file.length();
>     if (length < position) {
>         // File was rotated
>         listener.fileRotated();
>         // Reopen the reader after rotation
>         try {
>             // Ensure that the old file is closed iff we re-open it successfully
>             final RandomAccessFile save = reader;
>             reader = new RandomAccessFile(file, RAF_MODE);
>             /* some code */
>         } catch (final FileNotFoundException e) {
>             // in this case we continue to use the previous reader and position values
>             listener.fileNotFound();
>         }
>         continue;
> {noformat}
>       While condition checkes can be deployed in listener.fileRotated() to correct the sematic of fileRotate, it is better to prevent multiple invocation of listener.fileRotated() on this issue.
