failfast generally means that you find problems sooner rather than later, and
here, potentially, that your code runs but simply returns empty data without
any obvious cue as to what is wrong.
As is always good in OSS, follow those stack trace links to see what they say:
// Check whether the path exists if it is not a glob pattern.
// For glob pattern, we do not check it because the glob pattern might
only make sense
// once the streaming job starts and some upstream source starts
dropping data.
If you specify a glob pattern, you'll get the late check at the expense of the
risk of that empty data source if the pattern is wrong. Something like
"/var/log\s" would suffice, as the presence of the backslash is enough for
SparkHadoopUtil.isGlobPath() to conclude that its something for the globber.
