Autloader processing semantics

DebanjanB

Queue based Autoloader processes files in the order they are received only when the job is up and running. However when the job is down, the files that queue up are processed in lexical order once the job is up. Since autoloader jobs need to be stopped and restarted sometimes, it leads to confusion as it processes older files in lexical order and the newer ones in their order of arrival once the job is brought up. Is there a way to address this problem and have the older files also processed in their order of arrival for consistency? After all it should be able to determine the order of arrival after it is back up because the cloud provider maintains those info in storage queue.
