Mike Percy commented on FLUME-2015:
-----------------------------------
Hi Tim,
Thanks very much for the patch! I think you will be happy to know that there is
current work ongoing on a new serializer interface, as the existing API cannot
be modified due to a desire to maintain backwards API compatibility for Flume
plugin writers.
It would be really great if you could coordinate with Edward Sargisson since he
has a patch up to implement a new serializer in FLUME-1782, and it would be
unfortunate if that new interface would not be able to handle your use case.
A couple of additional things I'd also ask of you:
* Can you provide a bit more information about what your motivating use case is
for this API enhancement?
* Please check out the [Providing Patches section of our How to Contribute
page|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FLUME/How+to+Contribute#HowtoContribute-ProvidingPatches]
to find out how to attach a patch to a JIRA ticket.
Thanks!
Regards,
Mike

> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Sinks+Sources
> Affects Versions: v1.3.0, v1.3.1
> Reporter: Tim Bacon
> Original Estimate: 0h
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> I need more control over the indexing performed by the {{ElasticSearchSink}}
> -- in particular I need access to an {{IndexRequestBuilder}} instance during
> flume event processing. The interactions between {{ElasticSearchSink}} and
> {{ElasticSearchEventSerializer}} currently do not make this possible.
> I have authored a patch that meets my needs and maintains
> backwards-compatibility for existing users of the sink. It is available at
> [https://github.com/prime8/flume/commit/1056c129b10c95cee50e0c3f77e309668f82bfc6]
> -- please let me know if it can be pulled into the main ASF source tree!
> Thanks :-)
