Hi Kudu Developers, Now that we have complete Java based testing utilities there is a less reason to have all of the Kudu integrations the Kudu repository. Instead they can be built and tested in the integration repositories. The Apache NiFi and Apache Hive integrations are a good example of this. We have also seen less development and usage of the Apache Flume integration over time. Because of this, I would like to propose removing the Flume integration from the Kudu project. And, if there is interest, moving it to the Flume project going forward.
I had considered if we should deprecate the integration first, but I don't think that is required given the already released versions will continue to work with newer Kudu releases and if there is interest, the integration will live on the the Flume repository. What do you think? If folks agree, I am happy to follow through on the removal process. If there is expressed interest, I am also happy to follow through on contributing the integration to the Apache Flume project. Thank you, Grant
