Review request for Flume.
Description
-------
Rather than kill the source outright when a channel fills, the channel should
throw away the event (since there is nowhere to put it). A basic back-off
mechanism is also implemented so retries get spaced out the longer the channel
remains full up to a configurable limit.
Patches are attached to FLUME-1685 including a backport to the 1.2 branch
(which I use with Cloudera's cdh3u5 distribution)
This addresses bug FLUME-1685.

Testing
-------
A unit test was created to test the full channel condition.
This patch has been running in our production environment for 2 months and has
successfully recovered several times from full channel events.
Thanks,
Steve Hoffman
