------------------------------------
Could you provide a sample config file you were using ?
> Missing headers cause events to become stuck in channel

> Key: FLUME-2147
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-2147
> Project: Flume
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Sinks+Sources
> Reporter: Jonathan Cooper-Ellis
>
> If a sink expects a header but does not find it, events will become stuck in
> the channel and Flume will log NullPointer and EventDelivery exceptions. In a
> memory channel, this can be fixed by restarting. In a file channel,
> restarting does not cause events to be removed.
