Arvind Prabhakar created FLUME-1197:
---------------------------------------
Summary: Use of "timestamp" Header is hardcoded and not
configurable
Key: FLUME-1197
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-1197
Project: Flume
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Arvind Prabhakar
Currently the HDFS sink uses the "timestamp" header to resolve the destination
file path. The Syslog sources inject this header into the events for such
downstream use.
This enhancement request to change this functionality such that:
* The header name is configurable and defaults to "flume.timestamp" to reduce
collision with application namespace
* The system still works with "timestamp" header to preserve backward
compatibility.
