[jira] [Commented] (CHUKWA-674) Integrate Chukwa collector feature to Chukwa agent

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CHUKWA-674?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13527011#comment-13527011 ] 

shreyas subramanya commented on CHUKWA-674:
-------------------------------------------

I wonder if we should do away with the "Connector" interface and just have a single connector class. Each class implementing this interface just duplicates this code - loop on fetching from the EventQueue and call ChukwaSender.send(). Further, each addition of a new Sender (Ex. HBase sender) would require addition of a new connector and duplicating code. 

When we integrate collector into the agent, we would just need to add Senders for sending through http, writing to HBase, HDFS or console and a pipeline sender. The agent configuration would then have "agent.sender" property to choose a sender and an "agent.pipeline" property if a pipeline sender is chosen.

> Feature offered in Chukwa collector can be integrated into Chukwa agent, and use multi-tier Chukwa agent to collect data for large scale cluster.  For small cluster, agents can talk directly to HDFS cluster to reduce the complexity of deployment.  The required features to reduce the need of Chukwa collectors are: 
> - Enhance agent rest api to receive chunk data.
> - Pipeline writer to channel data to storage destinations (HDFS, HBASE).
> - Improve connector interface and replace http connector with collector connector for bandwidth balance.
