Ferenc Szabo updated FLUME-2853:
--------------------------------
Labels: 1.9 (was: )
> Allow for YAML configuration files
> ----------------------------------
>
> Key: FLUME-2853
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-2853
> Project: Flume
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Configuration
> Affects Versions: 1.8.0
> Reporter: Christopher White
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: 1.9
>
> Allow for YAML formatted configuration files
> (http://www.yaml.org/spec/1.2/spec.html).
> This provides:
> * A more condensed format than properties files
> * Less 'typo' prone for repetitive common prefixes
> * Ability to define a value once and reuse via references (see [spec -
> Structures - Example 2.10|http://www.yaml.org/spec/1.2/spec.html#id2760395]
> For example compare the following properties file and potential YAML
> equivalent:
> {code:title=agent.properties}
> host1.sources = source1
> host1.channels = channel1
> host1.sinks = sink1
> host1.sources.source1.type = seq
> host1.sources.source1.channels = channel1
> host1.channels.channel1.type = memory
> host1.channels.channel1.capacity = 10000
> host1.sinks.sink1.type = null
> host1.sinks.sink1.channel = channel1
> {code}
> {code:title=agent.yaml}
> host1:
> sources:
> _: source1
> source1:
> type: seq
> channels: channel1
>
> channels:
> _: channel1
> channel1:
> type: memory
> capacity: 10000
>
> sinks:
> _: sink1
> sink1:
> type: null
> channel: channel1
> {code}
