I've modified servers to log directly to a flume collector agent by rpcClient.appendBatch(...). I want to modify the server applications to verify the collector agent is running immediately at start up and exit if there is no flume collector agent to log to. Is the best way to do this to simply RpcClientFactory.getDefaultInstance(hostname, port) and if no FlumeException thrown proceed?
