Jeremy Karlson updated FLUME-2333:
----------------------------------
Attachment: FLUME-2333.diff
> HTTP source handler doesn't allow for responses
> -----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLUME-2333
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-2333
> Project: Flume
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Jeremy Karlson
> Assignee: Jeremy Karlson
> Attachments: FLUME-2333.diff

>
> Existing HTTP source handlers recieve events via a HTTPServletRequest. This
> works, but because the handler doesn't have access to the
> HTTPServletResponse, there is no ability to return a response. This makes it
> unsuitable for some sort of protocol that relies on bidirectional
> communication.
> My solution: In addition to the existing HTTPSource interface, I've added a
> BidirectionalHTTPSource interface that is provided the servlet response as a
> parameter. I've made some changes in the HTTP source allow for both types to
> co-exist, and my changes shouldn't affect anyone who is already using the
> existing interface.
> Also includes minor documentation updates to reflect this.
