Brock Noland commented on FLUME-1502:
-------------------------------------
The use case I can see for keeping Avro Source is lets say you had an
application server running 5 applications. You'd like them to all log to an
agent. You could have the application server run a single embedded agent
application that all the other applications could log to.
Now the opposing viewpoint is just that each application can run an embedded
agent or IMHO this is really a use case for a traditional local agent.
Thoughts?
