The Problem
There is a file stream source option called maxFileAge which limits how old the files can be, relative the latest file that has been seen. This is used to limit the files that need to be remembered as "processed". Files older than the latest processed files are ignored. This values is by default 7 days.
This causes a problem when both
latestFirst = true
maxFilesPerTrigger > total files to be processed.
Here is what happens in all combinations
The bug is with case 3.
The Solution
Ignore
maxFileAgewhen bothmaxFilesPerTriggerandlatestFirstare set.How was this patch tested?
