[Flume 1.7.0] 'parseAsFlumeEvent = false' works in Kafka channel?

[George M.]

Hi,

If i set the parameter 'parseAsFlumeEvent' to 'true' when the
kafka-console-consumer.sh reads the messages of the topic, it shows the
events like this:

unixtime1420119195000address,example@example.cosiz1060

hostip10.1.0.17line_type senderid999923BD99Cevent_route
SENDERmessage�2015 Jan 1 14:33:15 10.1.0.17 postfix-dsp/qmgr[5605]:
999923BD99C: from=<exam...@example.com>, size=1060, nrcpt=1 (queue
active)

This is correct. The events are serialized by Avro. But setting the
parameter value to 'false', kafka-console-consumer.sh shows only empty
events instead of plain text. Is this parameter working with the false
value?

Regards.
