Andrew Otto created FLUME-1838:
----------------------------------
Summary: Generic UDP & Multicast Source
Key: FLUME-1838
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-1838
Project: Flume
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Sinks+Sources
Reporter: Andrew Otto
Priority: Minor
There are existent TCP (NetcatSource) and UDP Syslog (SyslogUDPSource) sources
for Flume, but nothing that is able to easily consume plain ol' UDP streams.
My use case includes unicast UDP, as well as multicast streams.
I'm working on coding up a generic UDPSource for the Wikimedia Foundation, and
was wondering if this would be useful to the Flume community at large. If so,
here are some questions:
If I made a generic UDPSource, a lot could be DRYed and abstracted out of
SyslogUDPSource, with SyslogUDPSource becomfing a subclass. Should I bother
doing this? I'd almost rather not, as I won't personally be using
SyslogUDPSource, so I'd rather not have to test changes there.
Should UDPSource code live in flume-ng-sources, or in
flume-ng-core/src/main/.../sources?
