Just got flume installed on Centos and the basic setup is working great. I
have got a Master, collector and a few agents.
One additional requirement i have is to do with Output Bucketing. Based on
data that is present in the log message that is being sent to flume, the data
has to be slotted into different buckets. For eg assume that the log files are
to be separated into different folders based on a customer name that is present
in the log message, how would one go about doing this?
Lets say the log message sent to Flume is "ABC : Some message". The collector
needs to put this into a folder like /var/log/ABC. How can this be achieved?
Alternatively, Can I use metadata? As far as i could make out meta data is
static and not dynamic as i would need it to be.
Thanks for all the help.
