Flume + Knox

[#1]

Is it possible to execute flume agent outside hadoop network using Knox gateway + WebHDFS?

I found this JIRA (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-2701), but it's not resolved yet.

A workaround I found would be to mount hdfs/nfs in flume-agent remote node and use File Roll Sink to this nfs/hdfs directory, but it does not seem be a good approach.

You may want to open a jira for this.

I'm using workaround describe above (flume file roll to a nfs/hdfs mount dir) so far.
