-----------------------------------------
Maybe this issue should be Won't Fix or Dupe because FLUME-1227 just got
committed?

> 1. Problem Description
> A sink being unavailable at any stage in the pipeline causes it to back-off
> and retry after a while. Channel's associated with such sinks start buffering
> data with the caveat that if you are using a memory channel it can result in
> a domino effect on the entire pipeline. There could be legitimate down times
> eg: HDFS sink being down for name node maintenance, hadoop upgrades.
> 2. Why not use a durable channel (JDBC, FileChannel)?
> Want high throughput and support sink down times as a first class use-case.
