----------------------------------------------------------------
First off I agree that backwards compatibility is very important. However, I
believe this is an exceedingly rare case. In that I find it unlikely that there
are custom components out there which require this behavior. Are we aware of
any custom components exploiting this? It seems like this was a hack put in to
support memory channel. As a developer, I would expect the new behavior as in
the patch and it seems unlikely you would know about this functionality unless
you looked at the default factories.

> 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.
