Class DirTailingAdaptor

java.lang.Object

org.apache.hadoop.chukwa.datacollection.adaptor.AbstractAdaptor

org.apache.hadoop.chukwa.datacollection.adaptor.DirTailingAdaptor

All Implemented Interfaces:

Runnable, Adaptor

public class DirTailingAdaptor
extends AbstractAdaptor
implements Runnable

Explore a whole directory hierarchy, looking for files to tail. DirTailingAdaptor will not try to start tailing a file more than once, if the file hasn't been modified in the interim. Offset param is used to track last finished scan. Mandatory first parameter is a directory with an optional unix style file filter. Mandatory second parameter is the name of an adaptor to start. If the specified directory does not exist, the DirTailer will continue running, and will start tailing if the directory is later created.
