Mike Percy updated FLUME-987:
-----------------------------
Fix Version/s: (was: v1.1.0)
> LoggerSink prints garbage for body
> ----------------------------------
>
> Key: FLUME-987
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-987
> Project: Flume
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: v1.0.0
> Reporter: Mike Percy
> Assignee: Mike Percy
> Priority: Minor
>
> The LoggerSink relies on Event.toString() being implemented, which is not
> reliable since it's not part of the Event interface (of course, it's part of
> Object and prints some memory address by default).
> SimpleEvent implements toString() but poorly (prints the memory address for
> the body byte array), and other implementations of Event may not override
> toString().
> I will submit a patch to remove the toString() method from SimpleEvent and
> implement a quick fix in LoggerSink.
> Longer term, we may want to consider using something like MIME types via the
> headers so that decoding is more automatic and less reliant on the configured
> classes being fully cognizant of the data encoding.
