----------------------------------------------

@gwenshap Was looking through the Copycat checklist to see if there's anything already implemented since the patches may not always align with how I originally broke down the JIRAs. This one is an interesting case -- we have the barebones file connector and we're using it for tests. Do we want to keep this very simple as an example and consider this done? Or should we extend it to be more complete (e.g. handling cases like overwriting files rather than appending to them)? And as you're list above points out, there's a *lot* that could go into a really generic file handling connector. Alternatively, a more complete log handling connector could be provided as a separate plugin, as with most other connectors.

> This is a good baseline connector that has zero dependencies and works well as both a demonstration and a practical use case for standalone mode.
> Two key features it should ideally support: support multiple files and rolling log files.
