Hi,
Flume NG has a pluggable configuration system called the configuration
provider. I cloned the source repository and I indeed found it but I am a
bit lost. Is there some kind of short guide explaining how to write a
custom configuration provider?
I would like to start with something simple : using a YAML configuration
file instead of a properties file.
It should be almost trivial to change the following configuration
*agent1.channels.ch1.type = memory
agent1.sources.avro-source1.channels = ch1
agent1.sources.avro-source1.type = avro
agent1.sources.avro-source1.bind = 0.0.0.0
agent1.sources.avro-source1.port = 41414
agent1.sinks.log-sink1.channel = ch1
agent1.sinks.log-sink1.type = logger
agent1.channels = ch1
agent1.sources = avro-source1
agent1.sinks = log-sink1*
into
agent1:
channels:
ch1:
type: memory
sources:
avroSource1:
channels: ch1
type: avro
bind: 0.0.0.0
port: 41414
sinks:
logSink1:
channel: ch1
type: logger
At least, I know how to convert the latter into the former but I am not
sure how this transformation can be included into flume-ng using a
configuration provider.
I have not been able to find much information about the customisation of
the configuration provider. Did I miss any documentation?
