Description

Define interfaces and classes that make up the core of a Flume node.

For some definition, let's call the following the core of the Flume node:

• FlumeNode component pojo.
• Logical node manager and status monitor.
• Logical node configuration system connectors (with an initial target of loading configs from files).
