0 byte files in /chukwa/logs

We are getting a bunch of 0 byte *.chukwa files in logs.  What could be the cause of this?  (e.g. starting and stopping the collector or if a collector dies etc...)

Is there a JIRA that reflects this issue (not sure if it's common)?

This will happen if a collector dies or is stopped.  I just opened
CHUKWA-461 on JIRA to keep track of it.

The 0 bytes files should be renamed to .done file after the collector close
the file.  If those files have been sitting around for a long time, then
your guess is right.  There is a JIRA for this, it is:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CHUKWA-4

I think the fix is to handling of sigterm correctly for the collector.
