Tom White updated FLUME-2010:
-----------------------------
Attachment: FLUME-2010.patch
Here's an early patch for discussion. The idea is that you can log Avro records
simply using Log4j:
{code}
Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(...);
GenericRecord appEvent = ...;
logger.info(appEvent);
{code}
and they end up in HDFS by setting the HDFS sink {{serializer}} to
{{org.apache.flume.serialization.GenericAvroEventSerializer$Builder}}.
There's an example at https://github.com/tomwhite/flume-log4j-example (adapted
from https://github.com/mpercy/flume-log4j-example).

> It would be nice to support logging arbitrary Avro records via the Log4j

> appropriately configured HDFS sink).
