Hi Yanzhi, I am not sure what file lock you are talking about. File Channel by itself does not do any time based locking. The only locking it does is to ensure that multiple channels do not use the same data directory (so there is no issue of lock being lost - the lock file is simply deleted at channel stop). Also, the file channel deletes files as the data gets transmitted. The file channel maxFileSize is configurable, and supports a maximum of around 1.52GB. Adding multiple HDFS sinks can improve performance too.
What version of Flume are you using? I'd suggest trying out File Channel from trunk (or the upcoming v1.3.0). JDBC channel is generally a lot slower. I have tested Flume in various configurations and never encountered issues with the file channel. Can you give me details on the file channel problems you faced? It might be a simple config issue, and easily fixable. As for the JDBC channel, I am not sure of a good configuration - as I have not really used it much. Please wait for someone else to reply if you still feel the JDBC channel is better.
