Yes, I am curious what you mean as well. When testing I had dropped a few 15GB files in the spoolDir and while they processed slowly they did complete. In fact, my only issue with that test was the last hop HDFS sinks couldn't keep up and I had to add a couple more to keep upstream channels from filling up.

It shouldn't die with large files. On Tue, Aug 20, 2013 at 3:43 AM, Wang, Yongkun | Yongkun | BDD <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Thanks Brock. I tried spooling directory, if the file dropped in spoolDir was too large, flume also died. There should be a blocking. Will start a standalone script process to drop small files.

I made a naive python script for exec source to do throttling by calling sleep() function. But the sleep() doesn't work when called by exec source. Any ideas about this or do you have some simply solution for throttling instead of a custom source? Flume config: agent.sources = src1 agent.sources.src1.type = exec agent.sources.src1.command = read-file-throttle.py read-file-throttle.py: #!/usr/bin/python import time count=0 pre_time=time.time() with open("apache.log") as infile: for line in infile: line = line.strip() print line count += 1 if count % 50000 == 0: now_time = time.time() diff = now_time - pre_time if diff < 10: #print "sleeping %s seconds ..." % (diff) time.sleep(diff) pre_time = now_time Thank you very much.
