Support connection initiation in reverse direction
--------------------------------------------------
Key: FLUME-994
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-994
Project: Flume
Issue Type: New Feature
Affects Versions: v1.0.0
Reporter: Mike Percy
Support initiating a network connection in the "reverse" direction: from Sink
to Source.
Use case: In an environment where data is being collected into the corp network
from the production network, often there is a firewall specifying one-way
connection initiatiion from corp to prod. This feature is to allow connection
initiation from corp to prod, and then allow data to flow through that
connection from a prod Source back to a corp Sink.
I know of one situation where Flume was considered for adoption, then abandoned
because this feature was not available.
