Flume output bucketing
----------------------

                 Key: FLUME-1072
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-1072
             Project: Flume
          Issue Type: Question
          Components: Sinks+Sources
    Affects Versions: v0.9.3
            Reporter: Nguyen


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
