👉 The "flumeCollector.conf" in a flow control system is used to set up the configuration for Flume, a distributed data sink for streaming data. It defines settings such as channel names, buffer sizes, data formats, and sinks.
Specifically:
- Channel Names: These are the unique identifiers that each of your Flume channels uses. For example, if you have a channel named "channel1", its name would be "channel1".
- Buffer Sizes: These define how big or small the buffers should be for each incoming message to be processed by the channel. Higher buffer sizes generally result in faster processing times.
- Data Formats: These are the data formats that are accepted as input into the channels and the sinks of the flow control system. Common examples include text, binary data, and JSON.
- Sinks: This is where you specify what sinks should receive incoming messages from the Flume channel. It's like a 'sink' or an output for your Flume channel.
The "flumeCollector.conf" is designed to be placed at the top of each flow control system's configuration files, making it a powerful tool for managing and tuning your data flows.
