Possible to use Regex Interceptor in Flume 1.2

[Paul Chavez]

I would like to use the new regex interceptor to pull timestamp values out of 
my event data. However, I do not manage the Hadoop installation at my work and 
we are using the CDH distributions which currently have Flume 1.2 packaged in 
them.

Is there a straightforward way to use just the regex interceptor with Flume 1.2 
as packaged by CDH 4.x?

thank you,
