Proposal to support disk based spooling
---------------------------------------
Key: FLUME-1045
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-1045
Project: Flume
Issue Type: New Feature
Affects Versions: v1.0.0
Reporter: Inder SIngh
Priority: Minor
1. Problem Description
A sink being unavailable at any stage in the pipeline causes it to back-off and
retry after a while. Channel's associated with such sinks start buffering data
with the caveat that if you are using a memory channel it can result in a
domino effect on the entire pipeline. There could be legitimate down times eg:
HDFS sink being down for name node maintenance, hadoop upgrades.
2. Why not use a durable channel (JDBC, FileChannel)?
Want high throughput and support sink down times as a first class use-case.
