Hello Rob and Heka users - I was exploring Heka (on Ubuntu VM) and had a few questions. i will try to keep them brief.
... 1. Can Heka be used, being used as an ETL tool to load data from various files into DBMS? or is it mainly for log processing and/or stream processing? 2. To me it seems that it can be, but I cannot seem to find good examples / tutorials to go through in figuring out config files to load into Postgres and MongoDB simultaneously - my use case. ... 3. I was comparing it as an alternative to the Mesos / Kafka / Aurora architecture - which seems much heavier than what Heka accomplishes much simpler. But again in going through the tutorials on your site I am not able to configure for DBMS from the flat files I am loading. The tutorial seems to want to write a log file in my /var/heka directory - whuch I had to remove my root permissions from (in my VM). Perhaps some of this baseline files, should be configurable of course, but perhaps start off in ~/heka? ... 4. Again, I am interested in using this towards ETL - if there are some examples you may be able to point me to would be great. I hope to learn to use it and then contribute towards its development as well. Thank you much for your help. And thank you for thinking through the details, in identifying, collating the shortcomings of other tools, in coming up with this great toolset. Mono
