Mike Percy commented on FLUME-2940:
-----------------------------------

There is a "null" sink in Flume that will throw away events from a channel, one 
by one.

> File channel - delete old events making queue available for new events

> I am using flume agent with avro source and custom sink.
> I want to keep sending events using avro source to agent, sink will not be 
> available at this point of time 
> file size gets reached or capacity is reached, in both the case i have log-1, 
> log-2 etc.
> In this case when i send next event, i get the exception, instead can i do 
> something to delete old events and add new events? basically i want to clean 
> up some old data making room for new data.
