    Description

      I was trying to setup a basic 2-tier Flume setup using the Avro source/sink to communicate between tiers. When I setup the system I used compression-type on the 1st tier's sink side like documented here (https://flume.apache.org/FlumeUserGuide.html#avro-sink)

      agent.sinks.snk1.compression-type = deflate

      And the same on the source side:
      agent.sources.src1.compression-type = deflate

      But I was getting this error:
      08 Apr 2014 00:15:07,606 WARN pool-7-thread-1 (org.apache.avro.ipc.NettyServer$NettyServerAvroHandler.exceptionCaught:201) - Unexpected exception from downstream.

      After some digging I found if I changed 'deflate' for 'gzip' it works.

      agent.sinks.snk1.compression-type = gzip

      agent.sources.src1.compression-type = gzip
