> My client's use case is to feed lots of little data files into the Chukwa system. They're collected first by a web API, saved to disk, and then a locally-running agent is notified with the path to the file name.
> Naturally, there's an issue of wasting disk space by keeping all the files around on the web nodes unnecessarily. So a simple addition of an optional "delete" parameter when adding a FileAdaptor appears to do the trick.
> Forthcoming is a patch against 0.4.0 that we used to achieve this. The parameter is optional in order to maintain compatibility.
