Description

Feature offered in Chukwa collector can be integrated into Chukwa agent, and use multi-tier Chukwa agent to collect data for large scale cluster. For small cluster, agents can talk directly to HDFS cluster to reduce the complexity of deployment. The required features to reduce the need of Chukwa collectors are:

• Enhance agent rest api to receive chunk data.
• Pipeline writer to channel data to storage destinations (HDFS, HBASE).
• Improve connector interface and replace http connector with collector connector for bandwidth balance.
