Hi Mich, Thanks. I would prefer not to add another system into the mix as we currently don't use kafka at all. We are still in the prototype phase at the moment and it seems to be working well though it doesn't like you restrating the flume sink part without restarting the SPARK application. That is something we should be able to manage though.
*-Ian * Hi Ian, Flume is great for ingesting data into HDFS and Hbase. However, that is part of batch layer. For real time processing, I would go through Kafka into spark streaming. Except your case, I have not established if anyone else does Flume directly into Spark? If so how mature is it.

Is there any feature in flume makes it more suitable to ingest stream data than sppark streaming, so that we should chain them? For example does it help durability or reliability of the source? Or, it is a more tactical choice based on connector availability or such? To me, flume is important component to ingest streams to hdfs or hive directly ie it plays on the batch side of lambda architecture pattern.

I'm using the pull based method mentioned in https://spark.apache.org/docs/1.6.1/streaming-flume-integration.html[5] The is initially working fine for getting data from Flume, however the Spark client doesn't appear to be letting Flume know that the data has been received, so Flume doesn't remove it from the batch.
