How to simulate dynamic requests per minute in JMeter where numbers come from file for each minute

How to simulate dynamic requests per minute in JMeter where numbers come
from file for each minute

After successfully using JMeter to profile our platform's performance I
got the request to simulate a 24h load based on minute-by-minute
transaction data extracted from the last year's logs.
At this point, having the static nature of thread creation in jmeter I am
wondering if this is easily achievable. I studied the usual plugins
together with those at jmeter-plugins.org but still I could not find a
straightforward way to do this kind of shaping.
I am looking at the alternative to write a groovy script that takes
control of thread creation but I am not sure if this is the proper way to
go.
Any suggestions?
Thanks, Dikran
