Hi everyone. My Flume adventures continue. I'm in a situation now where I have a channel that's filling because a stubborn message is stuck. The sink won't accept it (for whatever reason; I can go into detail but that's not my point here). This just blocks up the channel entirely, because it goes back into the channel when the sink refuses. Obviously, this isn't ideal.
I'm wondering what mechanisms, if any, Flume has to deal with these situations. Things that come to mind might be: 1. Ditch the event after n attempts. 2. After n attempts, send the event to a "problem area" (maybe a different source / sink / channel?) that someone can look at later. 3. Some sort of mechanism that allows operators to manually kill these messages. I'm open to suggestions on alternatives as well. Thanks. -- Jeremy
