Description

Flume transactions will fail/retry continuously when the Channel's transactionCapacity < batchSize of the source/sink

We should document this requirement in the User guide, as part of the channel's transactionCapacity parameter.

This is trivial, but it may be reasonable to document this as lot of newbies would set the batchSize parameter of the source/sink to a higher value (>100) and would forget to set the transactionCapacity of the channel and the default value of 100 would kick in and cause issues.
