> It would be nice if the User Guide had a section which lists considerations
> for designing an end-to-end flume topology. I think a lot of people get lost
> in the long list of sources/sinks/etc and need a higher level overview of
> what to think about when designing a flow. Examples would be:
> - When to use Flume? Types of data that flume is good at handling (e.g.
> regularly generated, event-based, etc).
> - Reliability (explaining that flow reliability is a function of channels
> used, redundancy in the flow, and other factors)
> - Flume sizing (some basic ideas about how to size the nodes or network you
> are running on)
> The design space is too large here to give precise recommendations, but just
> orienting users that these are the main things they need to be thinking about
> would be really helpful. Some issues like reliability are much harder to
> explain for Flume-ng than OG, and I think we need documentation making this
> explicit. Down the road, a "cookbook" with specific examples would be even
> better.
> Thoughts?
