Arvind Prabhakar commented on FLUME-1502: ----------------------------------------- @Brock, thanks for the design document. On the point of File Channel, I do feel that it is important to have that support to ensure that we do not put excessive strain on memory for the host process, and that we do not lose events in the case of host process failure. Another point to consider is whether the source would be any different from a regular source when running in embedded mode. For example, does it make sense to have embedded agent with a network source like Avro working on it? For instance, it may make sense to have no source support, but a direct pass-through for the client API that directly talks with the channel in question. > Support for running simple configurations embedded in host process > ------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: FLUME-1502 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-1502 > Project: Flume > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: v1.2.0 > Reporter: Arvind Prabhakar > Assignee: Brock Noland > Attachments: embeeded-agent-1.pdf > > > Flume should provide a light-weight embeddable node manager that can be > started in process where necessary.
