Hi Hari,

Yes, I managed to get the tool to actually do something:

java -cp "/usr/lib/flume-ng/lib/*" org.apache.flume.tools.FlumeToolsMain 
FCINTEGRITYTOOL -l /path/to/.flume/file-channel/data

but it looks like it just gives me the same exception that Flume itself throws 
when trying to restart:

Exception in thread "main" java.io.IOException: Unable to read next Transaction 
from log file /path/to/.flume/file-channel/data/log-xxx at offset 513457598

So, I guess "Unable to read next transaction" due to "While parsing a protocol 
message, the input ended unexpectedly in the middle of a field" is not the kind 
of file channel integrity problem the tool can fix.

Which leads me to ask, "is there anything else we can do with this file channel 
beyond discarding all the data currently persisted within?"

Thanks,
Andy

You need to specify only the data directories(comma-separated), the channel 
will look at all the files  in the directory.


Thanks,

Has anyone ever used the File Channel Integrity Tool released as part of Flume 
1.4.0? There is absolutely no documentation on it but an outstanding JIRA issue 
from last year to write some.
