Roshan Naik commented on FLUME-2595: ------------------------------------ Yes i was planning to add this before attacking FLUME-2581 > Add option to checkpoint on file channel shutdown > ------------------------------------------------- > > Key: FLUME-2595 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-2595 > Project: Flume > Issue Type: Bug > Components: File Channel > Affects Versions: v1.5.1 > Reporter: Roshan Naik > Assignee: Roshan Naik > Labels: channel > > Restarting a File channel based agent can take very long, a few hours to > evens days in some cases. The reason being the slow replay performance. > By having the file channel checkpoint on shutdown, this long replay can > avoided as there will be nothing to replay on startup. > A small hit (a few seconds perhaps) will be observed on shutdown to perform > the checkpoint. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
