> If there are many files in the path that need to be tail, and there is a file written by *high frequency* (for example, there are file a, file b and file c in the path, file a is written at high frequency), *taildir can read the batchSize size event from file a everytime*, then taildir will only read data from file a, other files will not to be read, because in TaildirSource.tailFileProcess will into an endless loop.
> code:
> {code:title=TaildirSource.java|borderStyle=solid}
> private void tailFileProcess(TailFile tf, boolean backoffWithoutNL)
>     throws IOException, InterruptedException {
>   while (true) {
>     // if events.size >= batchSize will not break while, 
>     // then into endless loop to only read tf
>     if (events.size() < batchSize) {
>       break;
>     }
>   }
> }
> {code}
