[jira] [Commented] (FLUME-2994) flume-taildir-source: support for windows

["Jason Kushmaul (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-2994?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15687050#comment-15687050 ] 

Jason Kushmaul commented on FLUME-2994:
---------------------------------------

I would think that it's up to log4j to close the file and rotate - I'm not sure how taildir would cause the logging framework to not recognize file size changes.

I introduced a failing test on non-windows so I have to go back and fix that, perhaps it is related.

> The current implementation of flume-taildir-source does not support windows.
> The only reason for this from what I can see is a simple call to Files.getAttribute(file.toPath(), "unix:ino");
> I've tested an equivalent for windows (which of course does not work on non-windows).  With an OS switch we should be able to identify a file independent of file name on either system.
