Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-1254:
-------------------------------------------

sounds like this should be a patch to flume, not to cassandra

> Flume was recently open-sourced by Cloudera.  Todd Lipcon mentioned he implemented a hook to output log data from Flume to HBase.  I asked if it would be difficult to do for Cassandra as well and it sounded pretty simple given the architecture.
> The source is found here:

> "Flume is a distributed, reliable, and available service for efficiently collecting, aggregating, and moving large amounts of log data. It has a simple and flexible architecture based on streaming data flows. It is robust and fault tolerant with tunable reliability mechanisms and many failover and recovery mechanisms. The system is centrally managed and allows for intelligent dynamic management. It uses a simple extensible data model that allows for online analytic applications."
> Since people are using Cassandra for log backers in other areas, I thought it would be useful to add something like Flume to contrib or core.
> Also, since event logging with flume sounds like it can be filtered and munged before reaching the data store, it wouldn't be as heavy as just straight loggers might be.
