Hari Shreedharan commented on FLUME-962:
----------------------------------------
Arvind, Thanks. That is what I was planning to do. Take a list from the client
and just try to send data over the first one. If it fails, move on to the next.
Say agent n fails, then start searching from agent 1 to find if one will
connect. Maybe we can check if we tried to connect to that host in the last k
seconds(maybe the user can provide this?), before we try to connect to that
host again?:
A) Take a list of nodes from the user, connect to node[0], if it fails, to
node[1] etc. Basically if any node fails, start from node[0] and check if we
can connect to any node, provided we did not try to connect, and fail in the
last k seconds.

> 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.
