Splunk Hadoop Connect: How can I change the file names created by the app?

[venkatsai123]

Hi,
I am trying to transfer the data from Splunk to Hadoop using Splunk Hadoop Connect.

I see that I have 3 files created
1). 3691308f2a4c2f6983f2880d32e29c84.1476896341.cursor
2). 3691308f2a4c2f6983f2880d32e29c84_fields_header.csv
3). 3691308f2a4c2f6983f2880d32e29c84.csv

How do I change these file names and what is the purpose of .cursor file?

Thanks
