Bessenyei Balázs Donát commented on FLUME-2917:
-----------------------------------------------
[~tmgstev]: thank you for the patch!
I think, this could be a useful change
I just don't know if it's easier to maintain the feature in a separate module
or we should merge it with Netcat Source and add an extra parameter to decide
if it's TCP or UDP? What is your opinion?
Also, could you please create a review request on https://reviews.apache.org ?
> Provide netcat UDP source as alternative to TCP

> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Sinks+Sources

>
> 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.
