> Here is the rationale:
> - Kafka does give a HA channel, which means a dead agent does not affect the
> data in the channel - thus reducing delay of delivery.
> - Kafka is used by many companies - it would be a good idea to use Flume to
> pull data from Kafka and write it to HDFS/HBase etc.
> This channel is not going to be useful for cases where Kafka is not already
> used, since it brings is operational overhead of maintaining two systems, but
> if there is Kafka in use - this is good way to integrate Kafka and Flume.
> Here is an a scratch implementation:
