Overview

The Filesystem DataSource allows files to be processed as records. This is useful for evaluating filesystem usage, or determining which files to use as data sources. For example, an XML DataSource could use a parameterized URL to identify the file to load. This data source may be fed URLs by the Filesystem DataSource, in conjunction with the Properties processor, to iterate over all XML files in a directory and build a concatenated set of records from the set of files identified.
