public class AvroSource
extends AbstractSource
implements EventDrivenSource, Configurable, AvroSourceProtocol

A Source implementation that receives Avro events from clients that implement AvroSourceProtocol.

This source forms one half of Flume's tiered collection support. Internally, this source uses Avro's NettyTransceiver to listen for, and handle events. It can be paired with the builtin AvroSink to create tiered collection topologies. Of course, nothing prevents one from using this source to receive data from other custom built infrastructure that uses the same Avro protocol (specifically AvroSourceProtocol).

Events may be received from the client either singly or in batches.Generally, larger batches are far more efficient, but introduce a slight delay (measured in millis) in delivery. A batch submitted to the configured Channel atomically (i.e. either all events make it into the channel or none).

Configuration options

Parameter	Description	Unit / Type	Default
bind	The hostname or IP to which the source will bind.	Hostname or IP / String	none (required)
port	The port to which the source will bind and listen for events.	TCP port / int	none (required)

Method Detail

configure

public void configure(Context context)

Specified by:

configure in interface Configurable

start

public void start()

Description copied from interface: LifecycleAware

Starts a service or component.

Implementations should determine the result of any start logic and effect the return value of LifecycleAware.getLifecycleState() accordingly.

Specified by:

start in interface LifecycleAware

Overrides:

start in class AbstractSource

stop

public void stop()

Description copied from interface: LifecycleAware

Stops a service or component.

Implementations should determine the result of any stop logic and effect the return value of LifecycleAware.getLifecycleState() accordingly.

Specified by:

stop in interface LifecycleAware

Overrides:

stop in class AbstractSource

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object

append

public Status append(AvroFlumeEvent avroEvent)

Specified by:

append in interface AvroSourceProtocol

appendBatch

public Status appendBatch(List<AvroFlumeEvent> events)

Specified by:

appendBatch in interface AvroSourceProtocol
