[jira] [Created] (FLUME-994) Support connection initiation in reverse direction

Support connection initiation in reverse direction
--------------------------------------------------

                 Key: FLUME-994
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-994
             Project: Flume
          Issue Type: New Feature
    Affects Versions: v1.0.0
            Reporter: Mike Percy


Support initiating a network connection in the "reverse" direction: from Sink to Source.

Use case: In an environment where data is being collected into the corp network from the production network, often there is a firewall specifying one-way connection initiatiion from corp to prod. This feature is to allow connection initiation from corp to prod, and then allow data to flow through that connection from a prod Source back to a corp Sink.

I know of one situation where Flume was considered for adoption, then abandoned because this feature was not available.
