> Project: Flume
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Sinks+Sources
> Affects Versions: v0.9.4
> Environment: CentOS
> Flume build:
> Flume 0.9.4-cdh3u3
> Git repository https://github.com/cloudera/flume/flume-core
> rev unknown

> Reporter: Thomas Andrews
> Fix For: v0.9.5

>
> We have an agent running on each of our servers, and our servers are writing
> audit data to these agents. The agents are configured to use autoE2EChain
> for their sinks.
> The problem is, out of 60+ servers, five of them generate the vast majority
> of the traffic, and, with this many agents configured to write to our two
> collectors, this means that there is a high probability (about one in three)
> ofautoE2EChain assigning four or five of those servers to write to one
> collector.
> Ideally, we'd have a way to set the sink as: autoE2EChain("high-traffic") so
> that some 'class' of agents would be assigned to collectors separately.
> Alternatively, I suppose, autoE2EChain could pass a weight in:
> autoE2EChain(20).
> I realize most work on the NG Flume, so perhaps the terminology will be
> different there, but the idea is likely still applicable.
