Arvind Prabhakar commented on FLUME-865:
----------------------------------------
Jarcec - I looked at the various sink implementations that we have so far and
all of them are PollableSink types. Consequently, one way to address this
requirement would be to make fail-over the responsibility of the
PollableSinkRunner and have it work with more than one sinks at a time. That
way, when the first sink's process() method raises an EventDeliveryException,
the runner could ignore it and try the next sink. A similar implementation
could be done for load-balancing requirement too.
