--------------------------------
Summary: TailFile has a property named "Rolling Strategy" but it
is never used
Key: NIFI-4606
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-4606
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Extensions
Reporter: Mark Payne
Assignee: Mark Payne
The TailFile processor has a property that is named "Rolling Strategy." It has
two allowable values "Fixed name" or "Changing name." I was unable to
understand from the documentation what the intent of the property was, so I
began to read the code in order to understand so that I could better update the
documentation. However, looking through the code, I found that the property was
only ever looked at in the customValidate method and never used for any logic
within the processor.
Therefore, this property needs to be removed from the processor, since it adds
complexity to the processor's configuration and doesn't actually affect the
behavior of the processor itself.
