Hari Shreedharan commented on FLUME-1630:
-----------------------------------------
Brock,
A couple of concerns:
* It looks like certain components are annotated to be "Reusable." I think we
should change this to "NonReusable." All existing components except the ones
like MemoryChannel should be tagged as "NonReusable."
** Any custom components written to exploit the current code of being
automatically "cached" needs to be able to function without any code changes.
** Any change of behavior expected by custom components (without any code
changes) would break backward compatibility and can *only* be done in a major
release.
* So any components that do not save state should explicitly state as such.
* I suggest renaming "Reusable" to "Stateful"/"Stateless." or something like
that.
I have not reviewed the whole patch, but this is something I noticed.
> Flume configuration code could be improved

> 1) It's not currently possible to provide your own configuration source
> 2) All sinks/sources/channels are reused, even across re-configurations which
> they are not used
> 3) The flume-ng-node module is very complex and starts many threads which are
> not required. That is there are multiple life cycle supervisors.
