> In LWFTAdaptor.java, lastSlurpTime is never updated, triggering an infinite loop if we use the
> adaptor FileTailingAdaptor and subclass adaptors.
> Loop occurs like this:
> 1) lastSlurpTime is never changed and thus always 0.
> 2) we append some data to the log file and we do a normal slurp
> 3) after this slurp, we have: len == fileReadOffset && fixedNameLastModified > lastSlurpTime
>    thus we think log file has rotated when it hasn't: fileReadOffset is reset to 0
> 4) we get: len > fileReadOffset and so we do a slurp of len bytes.
> 5) we are in the same situation as 3)  -> infinite loop: the agent never stops sending chunks
>    to the collector although log files does not change.
> It seems like this bug comes from CHUKWA-646. The first patch tailfile.patch seemed to do it
> right but in the second patch, the line "lastSlurpTime = System.currentTimeMillis();" just
> disapeared from LWFTAdaptor.java.
