Hello again,
Further to my previous problem with the Choke decorator under Flume OG, I've
tried separating out my 'aggregator' into 3 logical nodes as follows...
OLD:
exec setChokeLimit aggregator.mydomain.com mychoke 150
exec config aggregator.mydomain.com 'collectorSource(35853)' 'batch(100, 1000)
gzip choke("mychoke") agentBESink("collector.mydomain.com", 35853)'
NEW:
exec setChokeLimit aggregator.mydomain.com mychoke 150
exec config batcher 'collectorSource(35853)' 'batch(100, 1000)
agentBESink("aggregator.mydomain.com", 35854)'
exec config zipper 'collectorSource(35854)' 'gzip
agentBESink("aggregator.mydomain.com ", 35855)'
exec config choker 'collectorSource(35855)' 'choke("mychoke")
agentBESink("collector.mydomain.com ", 35853)'
Looking at the stats, it seems that the 'choker' decorator is having no effect
on the data passing through it. Even when I set 'mychoke' to 10, (which equates
to 80Kbit/sec) I still see regular spikes above 1.5Mbit/sec.
The Flume User Guide says:
"The choke decorator works as follows: when append() is called on the sink to
which the choke is attached, the append() call works normally if the amount of
data transferred (during a small duration of time) is within the limit assigned
to the choke-id corresponding to the choke. If the limit has been exceeded,
then append() is blocked for a small duration of time."
Our traffic is quite bursty - could this be a problem for the Choke decorator?
Any help is much appreciated as I've hit a bit of a wall.
Cheers,
James

Subject: FLume OG Choke Limit Not Working
Hello all,
I'm using flume OG (unable to upgrade to NG at this stage) and I am having
trouble with the choke decorator.
I am aggregating the data flows from several logical nodes at a single
'aggregator' logical node. The data flows should be batched, zipped, choked and
then sent on to another 'collector' logical node. I am using the following
config to achieve this:
exec setChokeLimit aggregator.mydomain.com mychoke 150
exec config aggregator.mydomain.com 'collectorSource(35853)' 'batch(100, 1000)
gzip choke("mychoke") agentBESink("collector.mydomain.com", 35853)'
The choke decorator should limit transfer to 150KB/sec, which equates to
1.2Mbit/sec. However I am regularly recording Flume traffic spikes of 5Mbit/sec
and more.
Can anybody suggest what I might be doing wrong? Is it ok to chain the batch,
gzip and choke decorators like this, or should they each be in a separate
logical node?
Thanks,
James
