Hi, Is it possible to configure Flume to block on reading from the Sink when the Channel is full? For example, if the source is a file being tailed, and the sink is HDFS, and writing to HDFS is not working for whatever reason, then the Channel will fill up.... right?
Once the Channel is full, what happens with new data that comes from the file being tailed? Can it be blocked? I doubt it, because tailing is done with exec + tail -F, and I think that can't be blocked.... but who knows! :) Any chance this is doable?
