Problem solved: the thriftSink is creating multiple connections to my python service and I was running in TSimpleServer not TThreadedServer mode.
Can someone explain the logic behind how many connections it will open so I can configure the servers max connections? I see 7 with an ESTABLISHED state. I assume this is intended? The flume log never gave notice of any sort of connection issue -- should I file a bug report on this? Would it be beneficial to make note of this in the documentation? Thanks!
