Description

Environment of data flow : One HDFS Sink is consuming event from Channel. The destination file of that HDFS Sink has been deleted by mistake. Sink retried at 'append' and got failure, also it's cannot close that file. The failure is infinitely at Sink. No other ways to consume events from Channel(single Channel is mapping single Sink).
