Alvaro Polo updated FLUME-1366:
-------------------------------
Description:
Sources, channels and sinks are designed to extend {{AbstractSource}},
{{AbstractChannel}} and {{AbstractSink}}, respectively. These classes implement
the basics of lifecycle state tracking for sources, channels or sinks. In all
them, that state is modified exclusively by invoking the {{start()}} and
{{stop()}} methods.
There is no possibility of setting the lifecycle state to {{ERROR}}. This would
be specially useful when override {{start()}} and {{stop()}} methods find an
error that impedes the element to be started or stopped.
My suggestion here is to add a new protected method {{void
setLifecycleState(LifecycleState)}} that allow concrete sources, channels and
sinks to report such a situation.
