Description

Currently, flume ships with a flume.avdl that has a reference implementation of a AvroSource / AvroSink , to deal with the default flume transports ( Event / Channel - s) .

We need to customize the avro schema that goes in, for our purposes - but would still like to reuse a majority of code of AvroSource / AvroSink that does the marshalling/ unmarshalling.
