Juhani Connolly commented on FLUME-865:
---------------------------------------
I guess that backwards compatibility is a target then? I had that in mind when
I made the current configuration(which is slightly unwieldy)
Your suggested configuration is shorter than the current one I have implemented
and possibly easier to understand. One potential source of confusion that is in
it is whether sinks must be exclusive to one group. I guess each group would
basically translate to a separate runner... If we went with this configuration,
perhaps we should be removing the concept of runners attached to individual
sinks entirely? At the moment the configuration has them as subcomponents of
each sink(which is why I did the configuration the way it is in this patch)
Personally I would like to ship this patch as is(the current configuration is
fully backwards compatible), and make the sink selector/configuration a
separate issue(I already started a separate discussion thread for it in
FLUME-952 where Jarcec has made another good suggestion for configuration, but
one that is incompatible with existing configs)
