You would basically need to implement a class - similar to the existing class “ByteStreamFileSource” - that handles EOF of the input file differently.  Instead of calling "handleClosure()” (which would tell the downstream reader that the data source has ended), your subclass would instead:
	- clear the EOF, and
	- seek back to the beginning of the file
to allow file read handling to continue as before.
