-----------------------------------
Attachment: FLUME-1002.patch
> FailoverSinkProcessor replaces sinks with same priority
> -------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLUME-1002
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-1002
> Project: Flume
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Sinks+Sources
> Affects Versions: v1.1.0
> Environment: RHEL 6.2 64-bit
> Reporter: Will McQueen
> Fix For: v1.1.0

> Attachments: FLUME-1002.patch

> In FailoverSinkProcessor, sinks are indexed in a SortedMap according to their
> priority. This means that specifying 2 failover sinks with the same priority
> will actually cause only one of them to be included in the map since the last
> sink replaces all previous sinks of the same priority ("last one wins"). For
> example:
> a1.sinkgroups.g1.sinks = k1 k2 k3 k4
> a1.sinkgroups.g1.processor.type = failover
> a1.sinkgroups.g1.processor.priority.k1 = 5
> a1.sinkgroups.g1.processor.priority.k2 = 10
> a1.sinkgroups.g1.processor.priority.k3 = 10
> a1.sinkgroups.g1.processor.priority.k4 = 15
> Here, the intent of the user is to configure sinks k2 and k3 to have equal
> priority, but in fact only 1 of these sinks will be used... so the user is
> left with a total of 3 working failover sinks instead of 4.
