Matt Sicker commented on FLUME-3406:
------------------------------------
Well, no, I think MD5 is a poor choice for either application. For
cryptographic integrity checks, it's insufficient. For a basic checksum for
checking for corrupted data, it's too slow.
> Inflight events in file channel should not be using MD5 for integrity purposes

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-3406
> Project: Flume
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: File Channel
> Reporter: Matt Sicker
> Priority: Major
>
> FlumeEventQueue's inner class InflightEventWrapper uses MD5 for calculating a
> digest of inflight events. MD5 has been considered unsuitable for
> cryptographic usage such as for integrity checks for many years now. This
> should migrate to SHA-256 at least.
