Description

TestFileTailingAdaptors contain code to startup and shut down Chukwa Agent 3 times. In each of the startup, ChukwaAgent will attempt to restore to its state to where it was previously sending data. This means the data in transit may not be the data that the test case is expecting, and test case fails. The test cases should be divided into 3 different Test classes, the automated test framework will remove chukwa check point file to prevent the previous state to interfere with the current test cases.
