I thought that is what it is currently doing with one twist, the commit and response is async. Collector exits if the file system is unavailable for extensive period of time. If it is not doing what's described above, then we definitely should fix it.

This is an answer to a question Bill asked me recently: can we redesign the Collector process to behave better if the filesystem is unavailable? I think we can do this by backpressure. If the write fails, the collector should return an error to the agent. And the agent should treat it like a post failure, and retry.
