Took a threaddump when it hit that point. Looks like the issue might be with some custom interceptor code that we have written. Looking into it. Thanks for pointing in the right direction.

What should I tweak in flume-env.sh? Not sure? I noticed that the source for fileChannel was included in flume 1.2. So I tried compiling that & using that jar; but got the exact same results with fileChannel - the process stopped after approx 9.5 hrs (after having written approx 9.5 million records). Any help would be appreciated.

Tune flume-env.sh and tweak JAVA_OPTS into "-Xms100m -Xmx200m" or something else FileChannel is available in from up to 1.3 http://flume.apache.org/FlumeUserGuide.html#recoverable-memory-channel cheers - Alex On Nov 3, 2012, at 1:21 AM, Parag Hukeri <[email protected]> wrote: > I tried to use the FileChannel; but am getting an exception - > > org.apache.flume.FlumeException: Unable to load channel type: file, class: > org.apache.flume.channel.file.FileChannel > Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: > org.apache.flume.channel.file.FileChannel > > I am using apache-flume-1.2.0.
