if I understand the OP requirements, a solution may be the pattern 
Observer/Observable :
- a thread Observable  that follows   the creation of file
TEST-[\d]{6}(-[^\.])?.log . When a new file is created motify the thread 
Observer with the new file log
- a thread Observer subscribed to the Observable   that tails the last 
file log and rotate when notified
