> Key: FLUME-994
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-994
> Project: Flume
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Affects Versions: v1.0.0
> Reporter: Mike Percy
>
> Support initiating a network connection in the "reverse" direction: from Sink
> to Source.
> Use case: In an environment where data is being collected into the corp
> network from the production network, often there is a firewall specifying
> one-way connection initiatiion from corp to prod. This feature is to allow
> connection initiation from corp to prod, and then allow data to flow through
> that connection from a prod Source back to a corp Sink.
> I know of one situation where Flume was considered for adoption, then
> abandoned because this feature was not available.
