can we make file connector to read file only in directory with name matched to the wildcard pattern

  1. The File connector is unable to read expected partitions data :  Expected to read data from all partitions excluding part_num=0, but it is reading data from part_num=1, part_num=10, part_num=11, part_num=12 and part_num=2 only.

      Expected Format as per UNIX HDFS - #AllHdfsProjectDirectories.$EDM_HUB_PROCESSED_BASE_HDFS_DIR##jp_HDFS_DIR#/#jpTableName#/part_num=[1-9]*/*
  2. The File connector is duplicating data while reading data using “read multiple files” option : Expected data from all partitions as one time, but the it is giving each partition data 4 times or 8 times or 12 times based on the CORES in APT file.
