> Support initiating a network connection in the "reverse" direction: from Sink to Source.
> Use case: In an environment where data is being collected into the corp network from the production network, often there is a firewall specifying one-way connection initiatiion from corp to prod. This feature is to allow connection initiation from corp to prod, and then allow data to flow through that connection from a prod Source back to a corp Sink.
> I know of one situation where Flume was considered for adoption, then abandoned because this feature was not available.
