Hi folks, Sorry didn't clarify my problem. The problem has two folds: (1) use which way to collect incoming TCP streams from external connections, and it must be made on the fly; (2)use which method as Flume source, e.g., syslogTcp, Avro.
It seems syslog is unable to tap into TCP connections. Look forward to your opinions.
