                 Key: FLUME-2052
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-2052
             Project: Flume
          Issue Type: Bug
         Environment: centOS 6.3
Flume 1.3.0
            Reporter: greg glazeweas


When parsing a file with messed up encoding flume spits this error:

23 May 2013 22:06:29,446 ERROR [pool-12-thread-1] (org.apache.flume.source.SpoolDirectorySource$SpoolDirectoryRunnable.run:164)  - Uncaught exception in Runnable

It would be good to skip such characters, ignore them or delete. Corrupt signs come from spamming engines, flume cant handle them at all.
