Mike Percy commented on FLUME-1502:
-----------------------------------
Agreed that we will need File Channel. A common problem is an application using
the client SDK library needing to buffer its own events. File Channel would
alleviate that in a durable way.
Another thing to consider regarding skipping the source altogether and allowing
an interface to the Channel such that an application could open a Transaction,
put() events on the channel, and commit()/close() the channel. This would make
the so-called embedded agent basically a glorified client. But that's the use
case I think this is morphing into. In such a case I think we should consider
disallowing take() calls, but that's a secondary point. Thoughts?
