[jira] [Created] (AIRFLOW-2836) Minor improvement of contrib.sensors.FileSensor

Xiaodong DENG created AIRFLOW-2836:
--------------------------------------

             Summary: Minor improvement of contrib.sensors.FileSensor
                 Key: AIRFLOW-2836
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AIRFLOW-2836
             Project: Apache Airflow
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: contrib
            Reporter: Xiaodong DENG
            Assignee: Xiaodong DENG


h4. *Background*

The default *fs_conn_id* in contrib.sensors.FileSensor is '_*fs_default2*_'. However, when we initiate the database (https://github.com/apache/incubator-airflow/blob/master/airflow/utils/db.py#L88), there isn't such an entry. It doesn't exist anywhere else.
h4. *Issue*

The purpose of _contrib.sensors.FileSensor_ is mainly for checking local file system (of course can also be used for NAS). Then the path ("/") from default connection 'fs_default' would suffice.

However, given the default value for *fs_conn_id* in contrib.sensors.FileSensor is "fs_default2" (a value doesn't exist), it will make the situation much more complex. 

When users intend to check local file system only, they should be able to leave *fs_conn_id* default directly, instead of going setting up another connection separately.
h4. Proposal

Change default value for *fs_conn_id* in contrib.sensors.FileSensor from "fs_default2" to "fs_default" (actually in the related test, the *fs_conn_id* are all specified to be "fs_default").
