Yongxi Zhang commented on FLUME-3106:
-------------------------------------

I think when takeList is full, memoryChannel should return null,not throw a 
exception.

> When batchSize of sink greater than transactionCapacity of Memory Channel, 
> Flume can produce endless data

> Flume can produce endless data when use this following config:
> {code:xml}
> agent.sources = src1
> agent.sinks = sink1
> agent.channels = ch2
> agent.sources.src1.type = spooldir
> agent.sources.src1.channels = ch2
> agent.sources.src1.spoolDir = /home/kafka/flumeSpooldir
> agent.sources.src1.fileHeader = false
> agent.sources.src1.batchSize = 5
> agent.channels.ch2.type=memory
> agent.channels.ch2.capacity=100
> agent.channels.ch2.transactionCapacity=5
> agent.sinks.sink1.type = hdfs
> agent.sinks.sink1.channel = ch2
> agent.sinks.sink1.hdfs.path = hdfs://kafka1:9000/flume/
> agent.sinks.sink1.hdfs.rollInterval=1
> agent.sinks.sink1.hdfs.fileType = DataStream
> agent.sinks.sink1.hdfs.writeFormat = Text
> agent.sinks.sink1.hdfs.batchSize = 10
> {code}
> And there are Exceptions like this:
> {code:xml}
> org.apache.flume.ChannelException: Take list for MemoryTransaction, capacity 
> 5 full, consider committing more frequently, increasing capaci

> {code}
> When takeList of Memory Channel is full,there is a ChannelException will be 
> throwed,The event of takeList has been writed by the sink and roll back to 
> the queue of memoryChannel at the same time,it is not reasonable.
