Issue XD-897: The HDFS Sink should support copying File payloads
We should support *java.io.file* payloads in order to support non-textual file and large text file payloads being uploaded to HDFS. Currently text file payloads are converted to a text stream in memory and, non-String payloads are converted to JSON first, using an "object-to-json-transformer". Ultimately we need to support streams such as "file | hdfs" where the actually payload being copied to HDFS is not necessarily JSON or textual. Need to be able to support headers in the message that will indicate which HDFS file the data should be stored in.
