> 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.
