Dave Marion commented on HADOOP-12357:
--------------------------------------
I had a misunderstanding. I was under the impression that Graphite and StatsD
used the same protocol. It turns out that the StatsD protocol is different
(<metricname>:<value>|<type>) and the StatsD daemon listens on UDP. Graphite
listens on TCP with a different plaintext protocol (<metric path> <metric
value> <metric timestamp>). I think that I can either close this ticket and
open a new one for a StatsD metrics2 sink, or just change the description of
this ticket and supply a new patch. Is there a preference?

> The statsd plugin within CollectD listens on a UDP socket. In trying to set
> this up, I keep getting a connection refused error, and I think the issue is
> that the current implementation of GraphiteSink only uses a TCP socket.
