Jerome Boulon commented on CHUKWA-369:
--------------------------------------
My 2 cts, The LocalWriter is checking for disk space and will bail out if the
disk space reach a quota:
if (freeSpace < minFreeAvailable) {
log.fatal("No space left on device, Bail out!");
DaemonWatcher.bailout(-1);
}
So the localWriter should do the job for now.
Regarding HDFS, there's work in progress to be able to use HDFS to write redo
logs so when this will be available, we will take advantage of that.
For people that want to still use the HDFS writer, they can change some HDFS
params to reduce the time before the hdfs client detect a problem.
Facebook is also using 2 overlapping HDFS cluster to get HA from scribe point
of view. The missing part from our side is a secondary writer but could easily
be implemented.

> We like to say that Chukwa is a system for reliable log collection. It isn't,
