Re: Pushing data from outbox to cluster using Flume1.3.

You could build Flume on Windows:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FLUME/Build+Flume+1.3.x+up+on+Windows

And use the tail or spooldir exec. You have to setup the path in Windows URI style.

Other way could be to setup a syslog agent or avro source on windows which will tail the file to a flume agent.
