I think I found the cause. because one of the line is larger than the set
limit, I tried to set the flume.event.max.size.bytes in the agent node and
collector node but the system doesn't seem to take the values
====
<property>
<name>flume.event.max.size.bytes</name>
<value>2076150</value>
<description>The length of line content in byte.</description>
</property>
=====
am I doing anything wrong?
Thanks
Vic

Subject: Flume agent repeatedly streaming the same content forever (Version:
0.9.3, r)
Hi,
I have encountered this problem with Flume twice. Flume agent just keep
sending the same log file again and again to the collector and filling up all
the disk space in the collector host at the end. Do you guys know what exactly
causes Flume to lost count of the lines and keep re-streaming. I saw it happen
when I try to stream some binary logs, and I saw it happen today with normal
logs(may contains some binary data). I can replicated the problem easily. I am
using "tail" to stream the content over
Please let me know what are the potential causes.
Thanks
Vic
