Hi.
I read a couple of emails regarding event body manipulate at user@flume
list today. We also have similar requirements when using flume.
Flume provides java API for writing decorators to manipulate events. But
right now we're using a JRuby decorator plugin shared from Chris Howe at
Infochimps:

This plugin can load a jruby script as decorator implementation, so we
don't have to recompile java code to test a decorator. It works pretty
well for me.
Is it okay to bring it into Flume core, or as a plugin? Potential we can
have plugins that can load other scripting languages, i.e., python,
javascript, etc.
Thanks,
Mingjie
