Hello, I have a problem with update .sincedb database.  
Sometimes (not always, but the input files always the same), a new record of last processed file appears in .sincedb only after logstash has restarted by me.

My environment are:  
LS: 2.3.1  
OS: RHEL 6.6  
Config File is:  
input {

file {  
path =\> "/mnt/ramdisk0/processing/"  
exclude =\> ".gz"  
start\_position =\> 'beginning'  
}  
}

output {

kafka {  
codec =\> line { format =\> '%{message}' }  
bootstrap\_servers =\> 'cnode1:9092,cnode2:9092,cnode3:9092'

topic\_id =\> 'test\_p1\_%{+YYYY.MM.dd}'

```
}

```

}
