Yohn Wei created FLUME-2691:
-------------------------------
Summary: SinkRunner keeps on resending failed messages again and
again after events sending failed
Key: FLUME-2691
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-2691
Project: Flume
Issue Type: Wish
Components: Sinks+Sources
Affects Versions: v1.5.2
Environment: CentOS release 5.4
Reporter: Yohn Wei
It's an important feature that the SinkRunner should try to resend messages
soon later after events sending failed, but there might be some problems here
as the SinkRunner would never stop unless receiving a stop signal. If the
SinkProcessor has a breakdown, and the source works well with a high frequency,
the channel will be out of memory soon. Thus I wish the agent could have a more
flexible mechanism, such as setting a timer for every event, and remove those
old events from the channel later. Thanks for your attention.
