Flume is basically an event bus. If you have a setup with web, application and data tiers and you don't want your web tier to have a jdbc connection to the data tier then you could use Flume to send the events to the application tier to be written. Flume also acts as an aggregator so that if you have 10 instances they can all write to Flume where you then only have a single connection to the data repository. I'm not a huge fan of using a relational database as the repository for logging events but if a DBAppender is needed then lets add it.
