Description

We use flume appender with persistent option. If flume agent becomes not accessible for some reason, the appender should stop accepting logs and throw exception instead of continuing to accept events and then run out of disk space.

A max limit option on the number of events yet to be processed will be help full. This will ensure that we will never exceed the number of events stored on disk.
