Ahmed Fathalla commented on CHUKWA-4:
-------------------------------------
Hey, Ari. Thanks for reviewing the patch.
I tested it manually by stopping the collector while writing .chukwa files and
starting it again,this leaves .chukwa files in the local corrector directory.
When the collector is restarted, the CopySequenceFile class I implemented
correctly copies the contents to to a valid sequence file and renames it to
.done (except in the rare case I noted in previous comments).
I also implemented a unit test "TestCopySequenceFile" which creates a .chukwa
file and converts it into a valid .done file using CopySequenceFile.
Yes, this implementation only covers the case of having a local collector
directory. I suggest we address the issue of writing directly to HDFS in a
separate JIRA.

> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: data collection
> Environment: I am running on our local cluster. This is a linux
> machine that I also run Hadoop cluster from.

> When I use start-collectors, it creates the datasink as expected, writes to
> it as per normal, i.e. writes to the .chukwa file, and roll overs work fine
> when it renames the .chukwa file to .done. However, when I use
> bin/stop-collectors to shut down the running collector it leaves a .chukwa
> file in the HDFS file system. Not sure if this is a valid sink or not, but I
> think that the collector should gracefully clean up the datasink and rename
> it .done before exiting.
