Tom White updated FLUME-2010:
-----------------------------

    Attachment: FLUME-2010.patch

Here's a new patch which I've been using successfully. Sorry it took so long for me to update this.

Changes in this version of the patch:
* Removed the schema repository code. Instead you can optionally specify a URL from which the Avro schema can be retrieved (e.g. from HDFS or a web server). This is similar to how Avro schemas in Hive are handled.
* Added support for all types of Avro serialization (generic, specific, reflect).
* Moved AvroEventSerializer to the HDFS sink module since it has a Hadoop dependency (so it can retrieve Avro schemas from HDFS).
* Added tests and documentation.

> It would be nice to support logging arbitrary Avro records via the Log4j Flume logger, and have them written to HDFS in Avro data files (using an appropriately configured HDFS sink).
