linux - Facebook-Scribe creating directories which are no longer needed -

i using facebook scribe logging data remote files. scribe seems remember file paths has seen far.

e.g., pattern old_directory_pattern/old_file_pattern.log, has been changed to: new_directory_pattern/new_file_pattern.log.

i deleted old directories , started logging in new pattern. but, saw strange, scribe creating both old_directory_pattern/old_file_pattern.log , new_directory_pattern/new_file_pattern.log.

the difference was, in old pattern, files empty , in new files contained data. scribe continued rotation of files in both old , new directories. may because scribe storing files information. thinking in these lines, thought of restarting scribe, didn't either.

please me this. i not want files old pattern created, no 1 writing in files, empty files, scribe creating , rotating them every hour.

i don't find problems logging. but, sharing scribe config, in case there parameter needs set/unset:
