             Summary: Metron Should have service to monitor HDFS for changes to files
                 Key: METRON-534
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/METRON-534
             Project: Metron
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Otto Fowler
            Assignee: Otto Fowler


With the INotify library it is possible to receive notifications from HDFS on file changes. 
A service that utilized this and was configured to receive notifications on files of interest ( configurations, rules etc ) in the system would be able to send notifications to Zookeeper
This may allow for things that are better stored in HDFS to remain there, and not force the system to put things in Zookeeper just for change notifications.
