---------------------------------------
Summary: Support diverting bad events from pipeline
Key: FLUME-2140
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-2140
Project: Flume
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Node
Reporter: Arvind Prabhakar
A *bad event* can be any event that causes persistent sink side processing
failure due to the inherent nature of the event itself. Note that failures that
are not related to the inherent nature of the event such as network
communication failure, downstream capacity failure etc., do not make the event
a bad-event.
The presence of a bad event in a channel can cause the entire pipleline to
choke and become unusable. Flume should therefore be able to identify bad
events and provide a facility to route them out of the pipleline in order to
ensure the transport of other events continues uninterrupted.
