Paul Lin commented on FLUME-2370: --------------------------------- If the deflate compression is enabled, any uncompressed data should not be sent to the Avro source, or you will get the decompression error. {code:title=FlumeSdkExample.java|borderStyle=solid} //If you're using flume sdk, use this to initiate RpcClient Properties props = new Properties(); props.put("hosts", "h1"); props.put("hosts.h1", socket); props.put("compression-type", "deflate"); props.put("compression-level". "6"); RpcClient client = RpcClientFactory.getInstance(props); {code} > 'deflate' doesn't work in Flume avro sinc/source > ------------------------------------------------ > > Key: FLUME-2370 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-2370 > Project: Flume > Issue Type: Documentation > Components: Docs > Affects Versions: v1.4.0 > Reporter: Cesar Delgado > Attachments: patch-2370.diff > > > I was trying to setup a basic 2-tier Flume setup using the Avro source/sink > to communicate between tiers.
