Just wondering, can I use Kafka Channel instead of Kafka Sink?

Essentially the flow is like. Things are coming from working on
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-1286)

Source -> Channel -> Kafka Sink -> Kafka -> kafka-Storm spout

To me it seems like we can use an Agent with Kafka Channel and without a Sink.

Just trying to find out Pro's and Con's of this. I am not using it,
just curious after reviewing the patch for Kafka Channel
documentation.

One thing that I could think of was not being able to use Multiple
Sinks to drain events faster.

Comments/Suggestions?

thanks
