You are using the AvroEventSerializer. This formats the event into Avro format specified by org.apache.flume.serialization.FlumeEventAvroEventSerializer, which is why it looks like garbage, while it is not. Your app should be written to read and understand the Avro format. If you need it to human readable, you will need to write your own serializer, perhaps by extending the BodyTextEventSerializer.
