Alex Tian updated FLUME-2789:
-----------------------------
Description:
In my scenario, I need to send messages from a kafka source to a kafka sink ,
in other workds, transfering messages from a topic A to another topic B.
As a result, I find my kafka sink always sends messages back to topic A.
The reason in the codes is:
KafkaSink.java:
****************************************************************************************
107 if ((eventTopic = headers.get(TOPIC_HDR)) == null) {
108 eventTopic = topic;
109 }
If the source is a Kafka source, eventTopic won't be null because it is the
source topic from the msg header. Therefore, the kafka sink will send the
message to its source topic by mistake.
I think we should remove line 107 and line 109 (Making "eventTopic = topic"
anyway)
