Mike Percy updated FLUME-1735:
------------------------------
Issue Type: New Feature (was: Improvement)
> Add support for a plugins.d directory
> -------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLUME-1735
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-1735
> Project: Flume
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Mike Percy
> Assignee: Brock Noland
> Fix For: v1.4.0
>
> Attachments: FLUME-1735-0.patch, FLUME-1735-1.patch
>
>
> It would be nice to have a directory, called something like plugins.d, which
> had the following structure:
> {noformat}
> flume/
> bin/
> conf/
> lib/
> plugins.d/
> custom-source-1/
> custom-source-1-base.jar
> custom-source-1-ext.jar
> custom-interceptor-2/
> custom-interceptor-2-main.jar
> custom-interceptor-2-lib.jar
> {noformat}
> This would make it easy for users to easily install new plugins (sources,
> sinks, interceptors, etc) and in the case of some conflict, they can easily
> be differentiated and moved out of the include path. This helps with
> management and debugging of plugin issues, and avoids the current requirement
> for users to add these plugins to their FLUME_CLASSPATH.
