> Retire "node" in favor of "agent"
> ---------------------------------
>
> Key: FLUME-950
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-950
> Project: Flume
> Issue Type: Task
> Affects Versions: v1.0.0
> Reporter: Arvind Prabhakar
> Labels: build
>
> As stated in the write-ups, documentation and discussed in various
> presentations and meetups, Flume (ng) uses the notion of "Agent" which is
> different from the previous implementation's use of the term "node". While
> this has been discussed informally in various forums, we have not been
> disciplined enough to make this clear in the code itself. Consequently, the
> code for Flume (ng) still references "node" in many places and is confusing
> to say the least.
> To make the code aligned with the terminology used in design discussions in
> various forums, I am suggesting that we formally retire the term "node" in
> favor of the term "agent". This will require non-trivial code and
> documentation changes. However, not doing it now will increase the cost of
> fixing this later and add to the confusion of folks transitioning from the
> prior implementation to current implementation.
