监控日志，如果使用exec source  ，tail -f  这种监控，不好，没有断点续传的功能

Note This source is provided as a preview feature. It does not work on Windows.
Watch the specified files, and tail them in nearly real-time once detected new lines appended to the each files. If the new lines are being written, this source will retry reading them in wait for the completion of the write.

This source is reliable and will not miss data even when the tailing files rotate. It periodically writes the last read position of each files on the given position file in JSON format. If Flume is stopped or down for some reason, it can restart tailing from the position written on the existing position file.

但是flume 1.6是没有的，1.7版本有
