> It would be great if NIFI could support the [lumberjack
> protocol|https://github.com/elastic/logstash-forwarder/blob/master/PROTOCOL.md]
> so to enable the use of logstash forwarder as a source of data.
> A lot of non Java shops tend to avoid installing Java at data producing nodes
> and instead of Flume they end up using things like kafka, heka, fluentd or
> logstash-forwarded as data shipping mechanisms.
> Kafka is great but its architecture seem to be better focused on multi-DC
> environments instead of multi-branch scenarios (imagine having to manager 80
> Zookeeper quorum, one for each country where you operate?)
> [Heka|https://github.com/mozilla-services/heka] is fine, it has decent
> backpressure buffering but no concept of acknowledgement on the receiving
> side of a TCP stream. If the other end of a TCP stream is capable of
> listening but gets stuck with its messages it will keep spitting data through
> the pipe, oblivious to the woes at the other end.
> Logstash forwarder in the other hand, is a quite simple tool, with a
> reasonable implementation of acknowledgments on the receiving side but... it
> depends on Logstash(and logstash has its own issues).
> It would be great if NIFI could serve as a middle man, receiving lumberjack
> messages and offloading some of the hard work Logstash seems to struggle with
> (e.g. using NIFI to save to HDFS while a downstream Logstash writes into ES).
