Would be nice if HDFS Sink would automatically choose best writableFormat based
on fileType

Key: FLUME-881
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-881
Project: Flume
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Sinks+Sources
Affects Versions: NG alpha 3
Reporter: Jarek Jarcec Cecho
Assignee: Jarek Jarcec Cecho
Priority: Minor
Currently user can specify both file type (SequenceFile, DataStream, ...) and
writable format (Text ~ append new line character, Writable ~ serialize as is)
of HDFS sink output file. Both properties have default values, however when
user redefine only file type to DataStream, flume will still use default
Writable writable format that will not append separate serialized events with
new line character.
Would be nice if flume would choose default value of writable format based on
current file type, so that for example for DataStream file type, default
writable format would be Text instead of Writable. I believe that would lead to
less confused users.
