    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-931?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13197442#comment-13197442 ] 

Juhani Connolly commented on FLUME-931:
---------------------------------------

Fwiw, I am willing to update this patch against the recent developments if people feel it is needed.

With that being said, I actually now subscribe to the belief that a better approach to tailing would be to use a separate client(written in a language like c or python that can actually track inodes) that sends the data by thrift/avro(there are plenty of such implementations for scribe). So considering that, unless someone really wants this, I think it may be best to close this
