Re: Syslog Infrastructure with Flume

Hari,
   The way things are progressing... it appears that HCatalog would become
part of Hive and may not have an independent existence.  The final decision
is not yet made but thats the direction it seems to be heading. So what I
am now referring to as a "HCatalog sink" could be just considered as the
"Hive/HCatalog sink" or just "Hive" sink.

Ok. I am not aware of what is happening in the Hive community. I'd just like to make sure that any effort that we put into getting stuff into Flume should be useful to as large a community as possible - in this case, that is the Hive community. 

Thanks,
Hari

If we simply use Hive directly, we would be able to address a larger community - which I would definitely like (thought I don't know how feasible it is). I think it might be better to use Hive directly at least to make it more useful to a larger community.
