Tathagata Das commented on SPARK-1645:
--------------------------------------
Yes, we will keep you posted.
Though one thing that is reasonably independent is to add the ability for Flume
receivers to be launched on multiple workers, such that one can act ask
standby, when the primary receiver fails.
> Improve Spark Streaming compatibility with Flume
> ------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SPARK-1645
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-1645
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Streaming
> Reporter: Hari Shreedharan
>
> Currently the following issues affect Spark Streaming and Flume compatibilty:
> * If a spark worker goes down, it needs to be restarted on the same node,
> else Flume cannot send data to it. We can fix this by adding a Flume receiver
> that is polls Flume, and a Flume sink that supports this.
> * Receiver sends acks to Flume before the driver knows about the data. The
> new receiver should also handle this case.
> * Data loss when driver goes down - This is true for any streaming ingest,
> not just Flume. I will file a separate jira for this and we should work on it
> there. This is a longer term project and requires considerable development
> work.
> I intend to start working on these soon. Any input is appreciated. (It'd be
> great if someone can add me as a contributor on jira, so I can assign the
> jira to myself).
