---------------------------------------
Summary: Add support for submitting multiple files per avro client
command line invocation
Key: FLUME-1753
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-1753
Project: Flume
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Sinks+Sources
Affects Versions: v1.3.0
Reporter: wolfgang hoschek
Some of the use cases we have involve sending a bunch of little files into a
flume pipe. Would give better perf to send them all with one flume-ng
avro-client command line invocation, rather than N processes started up
serially.
Perhaps have flume be able to read a list of input files from stdin, generated
by linux find command or HDFS 'find' command or similar. Along the following
lines:
find ... |flume-ng avro-client --inputlist=-
and from a file containing one URL per line:
flume-ng avro-client --inputlist=<file>
and from N files:
flume-ng avro-client —-filename=<file1> —-filename=<file2> ...
—-filename=<fileN>
A file can be a local file or an HDFS path URL.
In our case the headers would be the same for all files.
