-----------------------------------------
Also, let me know your thoughts on potentially writing a MorphlineDeserializer
that implements a java.io.InputStream on top of the SpoolingDirectorySource.
> Add Support for Additional Deserializers for SpoolingDirectorySource

> Key: FLUME-1988
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-1988
> Project: Flume
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Docs, Sinks+Sources
> Affects Versions: v1.4.0
> Reporter: Israel Ekpo
> Assignee: Israel Ekpo
> Labels: serializers
> Attachments: EventDeserializerType.java,
> RegexDelimiterDeSerializer.java, ResettableTestStringInputStream.java,
> TestRegexDelimiterDeSerializer.java
>
>
> There are certain use cases for SpoolingDirectorySource where the events in
> the log file are not delimited with newline characters.
> Certain log files that contain stack traces, xml documents and pretty JSON
> strings seem to contain multiple new line characters within each event.
> We can use alternative logic such as specific characters, strings or regular
> expressions to determine when the event is complete.
> Hence I am proposing the following new deserializers based on
> org.apache.flume.serialization.LineDeserializer
> # org.apache.flume.serialization.RegexDelimiterDeSerializer
> Allows the user to specify a regular expression that is a delimiter for
> events within the log file
> # org.apache.flume.serialization.CharSequenceDelimiterDeSerializer
> Allows the user to specify a comma separated character sequence that is a
> delimiter for events within the log file
> The user will specify an integer for the ascii characters and we will use
> that as the delimter.
> For example support for \r\n could be specified as 13,10
> A list of codes is available at http://www.asciitable.com/
> We will also need to update the user guide with examples on how to configure
> and specify a custom deserializer.
