Tristan Stevens created FLUME-2917:
--------------------------------------
Summary: Provide netcat UDP source as alternative to TCP
Key: FLUME-2917
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-2917
Project: Flume
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Sinks+Sources
Affects Versions: v1.6.0
Reporter: Tristan Stevens
Priority: Minor
Currently Flume provides a Netcat TCP source, however Netcat is often used with
UDP. There is an implementation of a UDP client in the SyslogUDP source, this
request takes this implementation and strips out the Syslog parts, thus forming
a Netcat UDP source - where each datagram is recorded as a Flume event.
The implementation is provided for this at
https://github.com/tmgstevens/FlumeNetcatUDPSource and also provided as an
attached patch for inclusion.
N.B. Unit tests are provided for this.
