Thanks Prasad

That update release is conveniently near by. We will go for that and take it from there.

Cheers

yes, looks like you are running into FLUME-798, so these two patches and configured timeout property should resolve the problem. If you don't want to build the patch, then you can use flume from the upcoming CDH3 update3 which should be available by end of the month.

thanks

    Dear flume community

    We have encountered a serious problem in our collector node (flume
    0.9.4). After browsing the mail group it seems to be a well known
    issue:
    ..........
    2012-01-23 15 <tel:2012-01-23%2015>:26:31,611 INFO

    .........

    We are using S3 sink which supports the theory that the the node
    is sensitive to timeout or similar from the sink.
    The bug should be solved with:
    + patch FLUME-762
    + patch FLUME-798
    + setting flume.collector.roll.timeout to 0

    Do I get it right so far?

    We have installed flume via apt, and haven't dealed with other
    than the binary build of flume until now.
    Are there updated binaries out there?
    If not, what is the easiest and safest way to apply those patches?

    Thanks for a great product anyway. We are looking forward to
    flume-ng with support for thrift source/S3 sink.

    Thanks in advance
    Søren
