                 Key: CHUKWA-545
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CHUKWA-545
             Project: Chukwa
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: data collection
            Reporter: Eric Yang
            Assignee: Eric Yang
             Fix For: 0.5.0


Hadoop metrics is currently streaming through Chukwa's customized log4j 
appender to delegate the registration of metrics file with Chukwa agent.  Both 
Chukwa agent and chukwa hadoop client keeps track of list of registered 
adaptors.  It is error prone to have adaptor list tracked in two different 
places.  In addition, the management of metrics files is also a problem.  
Hence, I propose to remove both limitation by using syslog appeender to send 
hadoop metrics to Chukwa.  This approach eliminates the adaptor and file 
management problems.
