Looks like we would have to reimplement [`DFSInotifyInputStream`](https://github.com/apache/hadoop/blob/trunk/hadoop-hdfs-project/hadoop-hdfs-client/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/hdfs/DFSInotifyEventInputStream.java) in `internal/rpc`, and then offer some sort of high level `FileWatcher` interface in the main package.
