Oh I see the error. You said transaction capacity. It is defaulting to 1000, I have never configured it before, just relied on defaults. Configuring it to 10000 worked.

In your case, it is 1000 for the channel transaction capacity and your hdfs batch size is 10000. -- Hari Shreedharan On Thursday, February 28, 2013 at 4:00 PM, Paul Chavez wrote: I have a 2-tier flume setup, with 4 agents feeding into 2 'collector' agents that write to HDFS.

I've been in situations before where the channel is full (usually due to lease issues on HDFS files) but never had this issue, usually just an agent restart gets it going again. Any help appreciated.. Thanks, Paul Chavez
