Description
A bad event can be any event that causes persistent sink side processing failure due to the inherent nature of the event itself. Note that failures that are not related to the inherent nature of the event such as network communication failure, downstream capacity failure etc., do not make the event a bad-event.
The presence of a bad event in a channel can cause the entire pipleline to choke and become unusable. Flume should therefore be able to identify bad events and provide a facility to route them out of the pipleline in order to ensure the transport of other events continues uninterrupted.
