Recoverable Memory channel requires Hadoop classes in classpath
---------------------------------------------------------------
Key: FLUME-1137
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-1137
Project: Flume
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Sinks+Sources
Affects Versions: v1.2.0
Reporter: Hari Shreedharan
Fix For: v1.2.0
RecoverableMemoryChannel needs Hadoop IO classes in classpath. On a machine
where Hadoop isn't on Classpath, Class.forName throws NoClassDefFoundError,
which is not caught by the factory class, causing the agent startup to fail. It
is not exactly a good idea to expect every machine on which this channel will
be used to have Hadoop installed. We currently depend on Hadoop/HDFS only where
we are actually writing to HDFS. Even the JDBC channel has an embedded DB, thus
not requiring the DB to be available in classpath.
