Jeff Holoman updated FLUME-2852:
--------------------------------
Assignee: Tristan Stevens
> Kafka Source/Sink should optionally read/write Avro Datums
> ----------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLUME-2852
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-2852
> Project: Flume
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Sinks+Sources
> Affects Versions: v1.6.0
> Reporter: Tristan Stevens
> Assignee: Tristan Stevens
>
> Currently the Kafka Sink only writes the event body to Kafka rather than an
> Avro Datum. This works fine when being used with a Kafka Source, or when
> being used with Kafka Channel, however it does mean that any Flume headers
> are lost when transported via Kafka.
> Request is to implement an equivalent of the Kafka Channel's
> parseAsFlumeEvent parameter to the sink/source so that optionally Avro Datums
> can be read from and written to Kafka.
