Ari Rabkin updated CHUKWA-369:
------------------------------

    Status: Patch Available  (was: In Progress)

I've now tested this fairly extensively, at data rates up to 200 MB/sec, up to 
256 agents and 20 collectors.  It's looking very good and I want to commit it.

- Substantial tests are included.
- The asynch ack mechanism is controlled by a conf option, and defaults to off. 
So if you're hesitant about it, you don't need to use it and everything should 
remain the way it was.
- Even if it's turned on, collectors can still respond with an immediate Ack, 
if they happen to write synchronously. (E.g., if the collector is writing to 
HBase or local filesystem)
- I tried pretty hard to code this in such a way that we can easily evolve and 
adapt the code to support other reliability strategies in the future.

> We like to say that Chukwa is a system for reliable log collection. It isn't, 
> quite, since we don't handle collector crashes.  Here's a proposed 
> reliability mechanism.
