Jerome Boulon commented on CHUKWA-389:
--------------------------------------
I agree on that ;-) but we don't need an agent on every single box.
We may need a forwarder in between that will receive data from XXX hosts and
forward to the collector if a collector is not able to handle that many open
socket (DAG) or just add another collector if the number of file on HDFS does
not matter to you.
> Send chunks directly from a log4j appender to the collector without writing
> to local drive

> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: data collection
> Reporter: Jerome Boulon

> Currently Chukwa required to first write the data to the local drive and run
> an agent on every single box in order to be able to collect logs.
> This is a good solution if you cannot afford to loose any data but sometime
> you don't want to run an agent on very single box.
> In that case, a new log4J appender could be used to send data directly from
> the application to a collector.
