Jintao, take a look here: http://flume.apache.org/FlumeDeveloperGuide.html#sink
It's pretty straight forward (coming from a .net guy :)
1. Create your sink based on the dev guide into a jar
2. Set your config file to use that sink type:
spool-agent.sources = spooler
spool-agent.channels = FileChannel-1
spool-agent.sinks = mysink
spool-agent.sinks.mysink.type =
com.domain.flume.sink.esper.EsperSink
spool-agent.sinks.mysink.esperAddress = 10.50.2.131 //can read this value in
your configure(Context context) implementation
spool-agent.sinks.mysink.channel = FileChannel-1
3. Add your sink jar to the classpath

Subject: Re: How to use Esper in Flume
Hi Shekhar,
Thank you for your email. The first solution is what I am looking for.
I really want to know the details of the custom sink.
1. The first thing I want to know is that how to install the custom sink ?
Compile it then put the ***.jar into $FLOME_HOME/lib ?
2. Is there any material about how to write custom sink ?
Thank you.

You have two options :
(1) You can write a custom flume sink for esper..Disadvantage would be you cant
change the esper queries at run time
(2) YOu can write esper service (Rest API) and the flume sink will send the
java pojo to Esper service..The advantage is that you will have the ability to
change the queries at run time..
I have tried both the approaches..let me know if you would like to know more...
The first approach is very simple, just need to extend the sink from flume
Abstract sink and override the process method..
In the constructor of the flume you need to initialze the esper engine, as well
as esper statements and esper queries..
Make sure your listeners are attached as well when constructing the object..
While you receive the events in the process method, you need to convert the
Flume SimpleEvent to POJO and call EsperEngine's sendevent() method...
For the second method you can have your queries,listeners and statements
defined in XML file and you parse them when the service starts and have a
thread that looks for the change of this xml file..
Hope that helps.

Hello guys,
I want to use Esper in Flume Agents, so that I can monitor all of the messages
and logs and trigger alerts when there are Error logs.
Does it seem like a plugin ? How do I install the custom interceptor ?
Does anyone have any idea ?
