Hi All, Monitoring Flume's performance over time is an important step in every production-level application. Benchmarking Flume on a nightly basis has the following advantages:
* Better understanding of Flume's bottlenecks. * Allow users to compare the performance of different solutions, such as Logstash and Fluentd. * Better understanding of the influence of recent commits on performance. Logstash already conducts various performance tests, more details in this link: http://logstash-benchmarks.elastic.co/ I propose adding a few micro-benchmarks showing Flume's TPS vs date (of course, in the ideal case where the input and/or output do not bottleneck the system), e.g. using the SeqGen source. Thoughts? Thanks
