In Definitive Guide 4th edition mentioned like "Flume agent, which is a long-lived java process" what is the life span of this process?

Hi @Mahesh Mallikarjunappa,

The Flume agent is typically listen to a logfile etc until it's aborted by an operator so that is where the"long-lived process" comes in.
