Alignment with regular clock-hours/days
Another problem that needed to be solved with the existing version of JKFlow was the alignment of the scoreboarding with the regular clock hours. This means that currently whenever the scoreboarding is inititated it starts generating reports starting from the timestamp of the first flow-file plus the duration of the report. e.g. if the first flow-file is timestamped with 12:12:00 21st March 2007 and we are keeping reports for one hour, it will start generating reports from 12:12:00 to 13:12:00 and then to 14:12:00 and so on. This was undesirable because it was felt that in general monitoring requirements need to be aligned with the regular clock hours in order to provide useful information.
The scoreboarding functionality has been refactorised to take care of this problem.
