Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-12702:
-----------------------------------------


line 91: include the exception in the string message, please. Same elsewhere


line 114. Instead of saying "Error connecting to HDFS", say 

("error connecting to fs: " + basePath + " : " + ex, ex)

that is: the URL and path, so that you stand a chance of working out why things 
went wrong. Just a thought.

> We need a metrics2 sink that can write metrics to HDFS. The sink should 
> accept as configuration a "directory prefix" and do the following in 
> {{putMetrics()}}
> * Get yyyyMMddHH from current timestamp.
> * If HDFS dir "dir prefix" + yyyyMMddHH doesn't exist, create it. Close any 
> currently open file and create a new file called <hostname>.log in the new 
> directory.
> * Write metrics to the current log file.
> * If a write fails, it should be fatal to the process running the sink.
