Brock Noland commented on FLUME-1502:
-------------------------------------
After thinking last night I am +1 on the passthru source. It's stupid to use
tcp/ip as Itra-thread communication even if it makes the impl simpler.
However, I am -1 on exposing Transaction to clients. It's a fairly complex
interface to use and is full of gotchas. For example, with FileChannel if a
thread fails to call rollback, data can be "delayed" until restart. I think we
should only expose put and putBatch (or send and sendBatch) via the embedded
source. This also further solidifies the one channel per embedded agent unless
we put a channel identifier on the put method which I think is a mistake since
multiple embedded agents can be created.
Additionally, I think the embedded agent will need to be re-configurable due to
the MemoryChannel.
