Hi Team,

In the new version of file input plugin - when this warn happens `[WARN][filewatch.tailmode.handlers.shrink] mismatch on sincedb_value.watched_file, this should have been handled by Discoverer`, it seems to stop logstash from any further processing.

This lline repeats itself over and over again every second.

Any idea what that is?

Cheers,
