Arvind Prabhakar commented on FLUME-823:
----------------------------------------
Will - your proposed behavior makes sense. However, I think the original
problem you were referring to was with respect to the command line invocation
of the Agent. In that regard, if the user does specify a configuration file,
then I think it is valid to fail fast in case the file does not exist. If the
file exists but contains no valid configuration, that should result in a
warning with the Agent going into the polling state.
> The properties configuration provider should fail if the configuration file
> is not found

> When specifying a props file (eg, flume.properties) that doesn't exist, the
> logs don't indicate any failure to read the config file. The configuration
> provider should probably just fail if the config file isn't found.
