Kanstantsin Kamkou commented on FLUME-2293:
-------------------------------------------
Very helpful ticket. FLUME-3021 emphasizes the library hell.
> Isolate Flume agent plugins to their own classloader
> ----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLUME-2293
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-2293
> Project: Flume
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Sinks+Sources, Technical Debt
> Affects Versions: 1.7.0
> Reporter: Joshua Hyde
>
> This is tangential to the FLUME-2286 issue I raised, but this would probably
> negate it:
> It'd be nice if Flume plugins had classloaders isolated from the {{lib/}}
> directory of Flume (and the Flume agent itself was isolated from the plugins
> directory). This would allow plugins to exercise a bit more freedom in their
> dependency stack (such as using more recent versions of Guava) without
> interfering with the ability of the Flume agent to run (and without
> interference from the agent's dependencies).
