------------------------------------

This is a question that is better suited for the user mailing list for FLUME.

However, it is more that 12 months old and should probably be closed.

> Hi all,
> Could you please help me to understand why flume can't control the output of log-events to particular directories based on the value of event's field. Example:
> collectorSink("hdfs://namenode/flume/webdata/%H00/", "%{host}-")
> 1. a flume collector receives a message to be logged to hdfs with source is SyslogTcp and Sink is HDFS
> 2. 16:00 PM Flume process crashes --> SyslogNG buffers the log-events on the local disk
> 3. 19:00 PM Flume process restart --> SyslogNG sends the buffered-data to flume. It means log-events have a delay
> 4. I expect that Flume controls the output of log-events to particular directories based on the value of event's field , it means log-events on 16:00 PM will be created on the directory /flume/webdata/1600 
> 5. The result is that directory /webdata/1900 is created for log-events 
> Could you please tell me why flume cannot control the output of log-events as described in docu?
> Thank you
