Flume NG for enterprise environment

Hi,

I'm using flume 0.94 in CDH3 environment and thinking to migrate to CDH4.

The old flume has a master instance to control agents and collectors, so we developed a configuration UI  to communicate with a flume master.

>From this UI, user can add, edit, and delete logical nodes.

Does anyone use flume NG on enterprise environment?

Without the master concept, how do you manage all agents and collectors.

If you need to read more files on a machine on flume NG, do you manually update flume.conf file and restart the agent?

Thanks.

Brock,

Thanks for your response.

We are using Cloudera Manager Free edition for our POC environment, and it doesn't have a flume control.

Dose Enterprise version has it?

Thanks.

Hi,

I would use puppet, chef, scp, or Cloudera Manager to manage the configuration files of the flume agents. No sense in writing something custom just to copy files around.

Hi Brock,

Without a central place for agent config, how to update flume.conf files on hundreds of agents?

We are trying to give user an ability to update agent setup (previously a logical node) real-time.

About 10 - 30 logical nodes are created per agent and they can be updated or deleted anytime.

Do you have any architectural design of this? 


Thanks.

Hi,

I can confirm that many organizations are using Flume NG in a production enterprise environment. You are correct the concept of a master no longer exists.

Hi,

I can confirm that many organizations are using Flume NG in a
production enterprise environment. You are correct the concept of a
master no longer exists.
