Ok I figured this out by using the %{basename} placeholder.
However I’m trying to figure out how to prevent the epoch suffix from being applied to every
file as it’s written to hdfs.
Example:
20150528133001.txt-.1432920411283
How do I prevent the epoch timestamp from being appended to every file name?

HDFS, but it seems to be recreating the entire directory structure from the source side.
