[jira] Commented: (CHUKWA-102) Provide streaming adapter

["Ari Rabkin (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CHUKWA-102?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12696862#action_12696862 ] 

Ari Rabkin commented on CHUKWA-102:
-----------------------------------

I don't mind including code for it, but I think as a matter of policy this isn't a good idea.  Buffering everything on disk gives us a lot of tolerance for network failures and load spikes, at modest performance cost.   A direct pipe forces either Chukwa or the app to do explicit buffering and such.  

I believe there may be code for this floating around; Jerome and Eric wrote it for the prototype.  I'd be interested to see a performance comparison with file tailing.
