Description

When using a non-Oracle Java and enabling SSL and setting trust-all-certs to false results in the following error:
2013-07-21 16:19:38,933 (SinkRunner-PollingRunner-DefaultSinkProcessor) [ERROR - org.apache.flume.api.NettyAvroRpcClient$SSLCompressionChannelFactory.newChannel(NettyAvroRpcClient.java:698)] Cannot create SSL channel
java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException: SunX509 TrustManagerFactory not available

It appears SunX509 is hard coded on line 679 in NettyAvroRpcClient.java. I am no Java programmer but perhaps leaving it null will select the default or what is set in java..security. Or have it consult java.security for the proer algorithm.
