Just a bit of forewarning. I have a need to use centralized configuration for Flume using Spring Cloud Config. As such I will be making changes to Flume’s configuration which will include: Support for accessing the configuration via HTTP with Last-Modified checks Support for detecting configuration changes when notified via Spring Cloud Config/Spring Bus that something has changed. This requires the separation of the configuration syntax from the configuration protocol. Due to item 3 I plan to add support for YAML configuration files. The samples I have so far are a bit simpler to read than properties files.
I will be creating a Jira issue for this when I get further along and will, of course, submit it as a patch for our RTC review process. In checking Jira this should also address FLUME-2882 and FLUME-2853. Ralph
