Juhani Connolly commented on FLUME-1339:
----------------------------------------
It's a good idea, but let's not drop the exec source if we do implement it. One
reason for setting up a full agent is to survive network issues(if the next hop
becomes temporarily unavailable things just stay in the file channel or
whatever)
> Implement an exec source like client API

> Originally when the exec source was implemented there was no SDK. It would be
> useful to have an API provided in the sdk that works like the exec source,
> thus removing the requirement of having an entire agent on hosts where the
> exec source is used for tailing logs.
> Maybe we can provide a standalone client that implements it too, which users
> can use off the shelf.
