You would want to replicate events to two channels and have something like a file sink pull from the second channel. You may want to look at http://flume.apache.org/FlumeUserGuide.html#flume-channel-selectors

As to using headers to determine path, you use the hdfs sink but point it to the local filesystem. The HDFS sink allows header substitution in the path.

Hi,

I'm looking for a way to create a sink that will simply 'backup' the files I'm sending through an Avro Source.
I have in the headers the file name, host name etc.
Is there a way to do store each line in a file according to these headers?

For example store events in a file called orig_hostname.orig_filename.timestamp, e.g.:
myhost.messages.log.1.135678263178

Thanks
Anat
