Arvind Prabhakar commented on FLUME-962:
----------------------------------------
@Hari - for starters let us keep things simple: Allow the specification of more
than one end points in a pre-specified order. If the first fails, move on to
the next and stay on the next for a specified amount of time. After the time
has elapsed, try to revert back to the previous end point and so on.
In fact, for the first cut implementation we should go without the ability to
dynamically revert to prior host based on time. We can factor those
requirements when this feature gets used and adopted in the field.
> Failover capability for Client SDK

> Key: FLUME-962
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-962
> Project: Flume
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Affects Versions: v1.0.0
> Reporter: Kathleen Ting
> Fix For: v1.2.0
>
>
> Need a client SDK for Flume that will allow clients to be able to failover
> from one source to another in case the first agent is not available. This
> will help in keeping client implementations developed outside of the project
> decoupled from internal details of HA implementation within Flume.
