Description
Hadoop metrics is currently streaming through Chukwa's customized log4j appender to delegate the registration of metrics file with Chukwa agent. Both Chukwa agent and chukwa hadoop client keeps track of list of registered adaptors. It is error prone to have adaptor list tracked in two different places. In addition, the management of metrics files is also a problem. Hence, I propose to remove both limitation by using syslog appeender to send hadoop metrics to Chukwa. This approach eliminates the adaptor and file management problems.
