Hi Leslin, The root cause of this is that the test tries to start an agent and connect to it. Most often, the agent would not have started, so the connect attempt fails, failing the test. I already filed a jira for this last week: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-1297 , but really could not think of a way to guarantee that the connect will happen after agent starts. If you have any ideas, please feel free to submit a patch, I will be glad to review it. This fails routinely even on my local environment.
