Israel Ekpo commented on FLUME-2035:
------------------------------------

I think this is going to require having specialized sources and channels for 
this sink.

This will allow for easier implementation of graph-specific logic as the data 
flows downstream which could vary based on the data structures involved.

The logic could depend on if each event will represent just a vertex or a 
subgraph (directed or undirected).

I suspect the events will represent a subgraph where each vertex within the 
graph will have a degree of one or greater.

Most of the sources and channels don't really handle graph data out of the box.

I will put some more thought into this and put my feedback later.

Nevertheless, I think this is a great idea and an excellent intiative!
