+    <p>Welcome to the twenty-second edition of the Kudu Weekly Update. This weekly blog post
+covers ongoing development and news in the Apache Kudu project.</p>

+  <li>
+    <p>Kudu 1.0.1 was <a href="http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/kudu-user/201610.mbox/%3CCALo2W-UgTa%2BX15_q_9FQpRUPWN53eyqFS10C5MXK1KpsFgqcyQ%40mail.gmail.com%3E">released</a>
+on October 11th. This is a bug fix release which fixes several bugs found
+in 1.0.0. See the <a href="http://kudu.apache.org/releases/1.0.1/docs/release_notes.html">Kudu 1.0.1 release notes</a>
+for more details.</p>
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    <p>Todd Lipcon has proposed a <a href="https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/4c94d313e28381bb107682ffaf43adfd38bd7fb3b03c98e3c86c52e2@%3Cdev.kudu.apache.org%3E">release plan</a>
+for the next few months. The proposal is to have a 1.1 release in mid-November and
+a 1.2 release in mid-January. These would be time-based releases rather than
+gated on any particular feature scope; however, it’s anticipated that several
+new features and improvements will be ready in time for these releases.</p>

+  <li>
+    <p>Happy fourth birthday to the Kudu project! The initial commit was made
+on October 11th, 2012! Since then we’ve had 4888 more commits by 60
+authors!</p>

+  <li>As mentioned last week, a lot of contributors have been collaborating on
+design documents for upcoming work. Here’s the complete list of in-flight
+documents, along with the primary authors of these docs:

+    <p>JD Cryans has been working on cleaning up the Java client. Several complex pieces
+of code were completely removed, and other parts were refactored into new
+standalone classes for better modularity. Along the way, JD also
+<a href="http://gerrit.cloudera.org:8080/4706">reduced lock contention</a> on a frequently-accessed
+data structure.</p>

+  <li>
+    <p>Todd Lipcon implemented and committed Raft “pre-elections” as described in the
+[election storm mitigation design document]((https://docs.google.com/document/d/1066W63e2YUTNnecmfRwgAHghBPnL1Pte_gJYAaZ_Bjo/edit).
+Initial experiments, detailed in the document, indicate that this will substantially
+improve leader stability on clusters with overloaded disks and lots of tablets.</p>
+
+    <p>Following this patch, Todd worked on some cleanup and refactor of the Consensus
+implementation, removing a bunch of dead code and splitting some classes up
+into smaller pieces. This is preparing for some improvements in locking
+granularity also described in the same document.</p>

+    <p>Dan Burkert and Todd Lipcon have started submitting patches to integrate Kerberos
+authentication with Kudu’s RPC system. Dan posted a
+<a href="https://gerrit.cloudera.org/#/c/4752/">patch</a> which adds “MiniKDC”, some test
+infrastructure for starting and stopping a standalone Kerberos service in
+the context of a test. Todd worked on adding
+<a href="https://gerrit.cloudera.org/#/c/4763/">support for Kerberos authentication</a>
+during RPC negotiation.</p>
+
+    <p>These patches are just the beginning of the security work, but form an important
+base to build on top of. The design uses Kerberos both as a mechanism to authenticate
+clients as well as a way to mutually authenticate tablet servers with the master.</p>

-    
-    <p>This post discusses the Kudu Flume Sink. First, I’ll give some background on why we considered
-using Kudu, what Flume does for us, and how Flume fits with Kudu in our project.</p>
-
-<h2 id="why-kudu">Why Kudu</h2>
-
-<p>Traditionally in the Hadoop ecosystem we’ve dealt with various <em>batch processing</em> technologies such
-as MapReduce and the many libraries and tools built on top of it in various languages (Apache Pig,
-Apache Hive, Apache Oozie and many others). The main problem with this approach is that it needs to
-process the whole data set in batches, again and again, as soon as new data gets added. Things get
-really complicated when a few such tasks need to get chained together, or when the same data set
-needs to be processed in various ways by different jobs, while all compete for the shared cluster
-resources.</p>
-
-<p>The opposite of this approach is <em>stream processing</em>: process the data as soon as it arrives, not
-in batches. Streaming systems such as Spark Streaming, Storm, Kafka Streams, and many others make
-this possible. But writing streaming services is not trivial. The streaming systems are becoming
-more and more capable and support more complex constructs, but they are not yet easy to use. All
-queries and processes need to be carefully planned and implemented.</p>
-
-<p>To summarize, <em>batch processing</em> is:</p>
-
-<ul>
-  <li>file-based</li>
-  <li>a paradigm that processes large chunks of data as a group</li>
-  <li>high latency and high throughput, both for ingest and query</li>
-  <li>typically easy to program, but hard to orchestrate</li>
-  <li>well suited for writing ad-hoc queries, although they are typically high latency</li>
-</ul>
-
-<p>While <em>stream processing</em> is:</p>
-
-<ul>
-  <li>a totally different paradigm, which involves single events and time windows instead of large groups of events</li>
-  <li>still file-based and not a long-term database</li>
-  <li>not batch-oriented, but incremental</li>
-  <li>ultra-fast ingest and ultra-fast query (query results basically pre-calculated)</li>
-  <li>not so easy to program, relatively easy to orchestrate</li>
-  <li>impossible to write ad-hoc queries</li>
-</ul>
-
-<p>And a Kudu-based <em>near real-time</em> approach is:</p>
-
-<ul>
-  <li>flexible and expressive, thanks to SQL support via Apache Impala (incubating)</li>
-  <li>a table-oriented, mutable data store that feels like a traditional relational database</li>
-  <li>very easy to program, you can even pretend it’s good old MySQL</li>
-  <li>low-latency and relatively high throughput, both for ingest and query</li>
-</ul>
-
-<p>At Argyle Data, we’re dealing with complex fraud detection scenarios. We need to ingest massive
-amounts of data, run machine learning algorithms and generate reports. When we created our current
-architecture two years ago we decided to opt for a database as the backbone of our system. That
-database is Apache Accumulo. It’s a key-value based database which runs on top of Hadoop HDFS,
-quite similar to HBase but with some important improvements such as cell level security and ease
-of deployment and management. To enable querying of this data for quite complex reporting and
-analytics, we used Presto, a distributed query engine with a pluggable architecture open-sourced
-by Facebook. We wrote a connector for it to let it run queries against the Accumulo database. This
-architecture has served us well, but there were a few problems:</p>
-
-<ul>
-  <li>we need to ingest even more massive volumes of data in real-time</li>
-  <li>we need to perform complex machine-learning calculations on even larger data-sets</li>
-  <li>we need to support ad-hoc queries, plus long-term data warehouse functionality</li>
-</ul>
-
-<p>So, we’ve started gradually moving the core machine-learning pipeline to a streaming based
-solution. This way we can ingest and process larger data-sets faster in the real-time. But then how
-would we take care of ad-hoc queries and long-term persistence? This is where Kudu comes in. While
-the machine learning pipeline ingests and processes real-time data, we store a copy of the same
-ingested data in Kudu for long-term access and ad-hoc queries. Kudu is our <em>data warehouse</em>. By
-using Kudu and Impala, we can retire our in-house Presto connector and rely on Impala’s
-super-fast query engine.</p>
-
-<p>But how would we make sure data is reliably ingested into the streaming pipeline <em>and</em> the
-Kudu-based data warehouse? This is where Apache Flume comes in.</p>
-
-<h2 id="why-flume">Why Flume</h2>
-
-<p>According to their <a href="http://flume.apache.org/">website</a> “Flume is a distributed, reliable, and
-available service for efficiently collecting, aggregating, and moving large amounts of log data.
-It has a simple and flexible architecture based on streaming data flows. It is robust and fault
-tolerant with tunable reliability mechanisms and many failover and recovery mechanisms.” As you
-can see, nowhere is Hadoop mentioned but Flume is typically used for ingesting data to Hadoop
-clusters.</p>
-
-<p><img src="https://blogs.apache.org/flume/mediaresource/ab0d50f6-a960-42cc-971e-3da38ba3adad" alt="png" /></p>
-
-<p>Flume has an extensible architecture. An instance of Flume, called an <em>agent</em>, can have multiple
-<em>channels</em>, with each having multiple <em>sources</em> and <em>sinks</em> of various types. Sources queue data
-in channels, which in turn write out data to sinks. Such <em>pipelines</em> can be chained together to
-create even more complex ones. There may be more than one agent and agents can be configured to
-support failover and recovery.</p>
-
-<p>Flume comes with a bunch of built-in types of channels, sources and sinks. Memory channel is the
-default (an in-memory queue with no persistence to disk), but other options such as Kafka- and
-File-based channels are also provided. As for the sources, Avro, JMS, Thrift, spooling directory
-source are some of the built-in ones. Flume also ships with many sinks, including sinks for writing
-data to HDFS, HBase, Hive, Kafka, as well as to other Flume agents.</p>
-
-<p>In the rest of this post I’ll go over the Kudu Flume sink and show you how to configure Flume to
-write ingested data to a Kudu table. The sink has been part of the Kudu distribution since the 0.8
-release and the source code can be found <a href="https://github.com/apache/kudu/tree/master/java/kudu-flume-sink">here</a>.</p>
-
-<h2 id="configuring-the-kudu-flume-sink">Configuring the Kudu Flume Sink</h2>
-
-<p>Here is a sample flume configuration file:</p>
-
-<pre><code>agent1.sources  = source1
-agent1.channels = channel1
-agent1.sinks = sink1
-
-agent1.sources.source1.type = exec
-agent1.sources.source1.command = /usr/bin/vmstat 1
-agent1.sources.source1.channels = channel1
-
-agent1.channels.channel1.type = memory
-agent1.channels.channel1.capacity = 10000
-agent1.channels.channel1.transactionCapacity = 1000
-
-agent1.sinks.sink1.type = org.apache.flume.sink.kudu.KuduSink
-agent1.sinks.sink1.masterAddresses = localhost
-agent1.sinks.sink1.tableName = stats
-agent1.sinks.sink1.channel = channel1
-agent1.sinks.sink1.batchSize = 50
-agent1.sinks.sink1.producer = org.apache.kudu.flume.sink.SimpleKuduEventProducer
-</code></pre>
-
-<p>We define a source called <code>source1</code> which simply executes a <code>vmstat</code> command to continuously generate
-virtual memory statistics for the machine and queue events into an in-memory <code>channel1</code> channel,
-which in turn is used for writing these events to a Kudu table called <code>stats</code>. We are using
-<code>org.apache.kudu.flume.sink.SimpleKuduEventProducer</code> as the producer. <code>SimpleKuduEventProducer</code> is
-the built-in and default producer, but it’s implemented as a showcase for how to write Flume
-events into Kudu tables. For any serious functionality we’d have to write a custom producer. We
-need to make this producer and the <code>KuduSink</code> class available to Flume. We can do that by simply
-copying the <code>kudu-flume-sink-&lt;VERSION&gt;.jar</code> jar file from the Kudu distribution to the
-<code>$FLUME_HOME/plugins.d/kudu-sink/lib</code> directory in the Flume installation. The jar file contains
-<code>KuduSink</code> and all of its dependencies (including Kudu java client classes).</p>
-
-<p>At a minimum, the Kudu Flume Sink needs to know where the Kudu masters are
-(<code>agent1.sinks.sink1.masterAddresses = localhost</code>) and which Kudu table should be used for writing
-Flume events to (<code>agent1.sinks.sink1.tableName = stats</code>). The Kudu Flume Sink doesn’t create this
-table, it has to be created before the Kudu Flume Sink is started.</p>
-
-<p>You may also notice the <code>batchSize</code> parameter. Batch size is used for batching up to that many
-Flume events and flushing the entire batch in one shot. Tuning batchSize properly can have a huge
-impact on ingest performance of the Kudu cluster.</p>
-
-<p>Here is a complete list of KuduSink parameters:</p>

-
-<p>Let’s take a look at the source code for the built-in producer class:</p>
-
-<pre><code class="language-java">public class SimpleKuduEventProducer implements KuduEventProducer {
-  private byte[] payload;
-  private KuduTable table;
-  private String payloadColumn;
-
-  public SimpleKuduEventProducer(){
-  }
-
-  @Override
-  public void configure(Context context) {
-    payloadColumn = context.getString("payloadColumn","payload");
-  }
-
-  @Override
-  public void configure(ComponentConfiguration conf) {
-  }
-
-  @Override
-  public void initialize(Event event, KuduTable table) {
-    this.payload = event.getBody();
-    this.table = table;
-  }
-
-  @Override
-  public List&lt;Operation&gt; getOperations() throws FlumeException {
-    try {
-      Insert insert = table.newInsert();
-      PartialRow row = insert.getRow();
-      row.addBinary(payloadColumn, payload);
-
-      return Collections.singletonList((Operation) insert);
-    } catch (Exception e){
-      throw new FlumeException("Failed to create Kudu Insert object!", e);
-    }
-  }
-
-  @Override
-  public void close() {
-  }
-}
-</code></pre>
-
-<p><code>SimpleKuduEventProducer</code> implements the <code>org.apache.kudu.flume.sink.KuduEventProducer</code> interface,
-which itself looks like this:</p>
-
-<pre><code class="language-java">public interface KuduEventProducer extends Configurable, ConfigurableComponent {
-  /**
-   * Initialize the event producer.
-   * @param event to be written to Kudu
-   * @param table the KuduTable object used for creating Kudu Operation objects
-   */
-  void initialize(Event event, KuduTable table);
-
-  /**
-   * Get the operations that should be written out to Kudu as a result of this
-   * event. This list is written to Kudu using the Kudu client API.
-   * @return List of {@link org.kududb.client.Operation} which
-   * are written as such to Kudu
-   */
-  List&lt;Operation&gt; getOperations();
-
-  /*
-   * Clean up any state. This will be called when the sink is being stopped.
-   */
-  void close();
-}
-</code></pre>
-
-<p><code>public void configure(Context context)</code> is called when an instance of our producer is instantiated
-by the KuduSink. SimpleKuduEventProducer’s implementation looks for a producer parameter named
-<code>payloadColumn</code> and uses its value (“payload” if not overridden in Flume configuration file) as the
-column which will hold the value of the Flume event payload. If you recall from above, we had
-configured the KuduSink to listen for events generated from the <code>vmstat</code> command. Each output row
-from that command will be stored as a new row containing a <code>payload</code> column in the <code>stats</code> table.
-<code>SimpleKuduEventProducer</code> does not have any configuration parameters, but if it had any we would
-define them by prefixing it with <code>producer.</code> (<code>agent1.sinks.sink1.producer.parameter1</code> for
-example).</p>
-
-<p>The main producer logic resides in the <code>public List&lt;Operation&gt; getOperations()</code> method. In
-SimpleKuduEventProducer’s implementation we simply insert the binary body of the Flume event into
-the Kudu table. Here we call Kudu’s <code>newInsert()</code> to initiate an insert, but could have used
-<code>Upsert</code> if updating an existing row was also an option, in fact there’s another producer
-implementation available for doing just that: <code>SimpleKeyedKuduEventProducer</code>. Most probably you
-will need to write your own custom producer in the real world, but you can base your implementation
-on the built-in ones.</p>
-
-<p>In the future, we plan to add more flexible event producer implementations so that creation of a
-custom event producer is not required to write data to Kudu. See
-<a href="https://gerrit.cloudera.org/#/c/4034/">here</a> for a work-in-progress generic event producer for
-Avro-encoded Events.</p>
-
-<h2 id="conclusion">Conclusion</h2>
-
-<p>Kudu is a scalable data store which lets us ingest insane amounts of data per second. Apache Flume
-helps us aggregate data from various sources, and the Kudu Flume Sink lets us easily store
-the aggregated Flume events into Kudu. Together they enable us to create a data warehouse out of

+  </header>
+  <div class="entry-content">
+    
+    <p>This post discusses the Kudu Flume Sink. First, I&#8217;ll give some background on why we considered
+using Kudu, what Flume does for us, and how Flume fits with Kudu in our project.</p>
+
+<h2 id="why-kudu">Why Kudu</h2>
+
+<p>Traditionally in the Hadoop ecosystem we&#8217;ve dealt with various <em>batch processing</em> technologies such
+as MapReduce and the many libraries and tools built on top of it in various languages (Apache Pig,
+Apache Hive, Apache Oozie and many others). The main problem with this approach is that it needs to
+process the whole data set in batches, again and again, as soon as new data gets added. Things get
+really complicated when a few such tasks need to get chained together, or when the same data set
+needs to be processed in various ways by different jobs, while all compete for the shared cluster
+resources.</p>
+
+<p>The opposite of this approach is <em>stream processing</em>: process the data as soon as it arrives, not
+in batches. Streaming systems such as Spark Streaming, Storm, Kafka Streams, and many others make
+this possible. But writing streaming services is not trivial. The streaming systems are becoming
+more and more capable and support more complex constructs, but they are not yet easy to use. All
+queries and processes need to be carefully planned and implemented.</p>
+
+<p>To summarize, <em>batch processing</em> is:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>file-based</li>
+  <li>a paradigm that processes large chunks of data as a group</li>
+  <li>high latency and high throughput, both for ingest and query</li>
+  <li>typically easy to program, but hard to orchestrate</li>
+  <li>well suited for writing ad-hoc queries, although they are typically high latency</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>While <em>stream processing</em> is:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>a totally different paradigm, which involves single events and time windows instead of large groups of events</li>
+  <li>still file-based and not a long-term database</li>
+  <li>not batch-oriented, but incremental</li>
+  <li>ultra-fast ingest and ultra-fast query (query results basically pre-calculated)</li>
+  <li>not so easy to program, relatively easy to orchestrate</li>
+  <li>impossible to write ad-hoc queries</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>And a Kudu-based <em>near real-time</em> approach is:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>flexible and expressive, thanks to SQL support via Apache Impala (incubating)</li>
+  <li>a table-oriented, mutable data store that feels like a traditional relational database</li>
+  <li>very easy to program, you can even pretend it&#8217;s good old MySQL</li>
+  <li>low-latency and relatively high throughput, both for ingest and query</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>At Argyle Data, we&#8217;re dealing with complex fraud detection scenarios. We need to ingest massive
+amounts of data, run machine learning algorithms and generate reports. When we created our current
+architecture two years ago we decided to opt for a database as the backbone of our system. That
+database is Apache Accumulo. It&#8217;s a key-value based database which runs on top of Hadoop HDFS,
+quite similar to HBase but with some important improvements such as cell level security and ease
+of deployment and management. To enable querying of this data for quite complex reporting and
+analytics, we used Presto, a distributed query engine with a pluggable architecture open-sourced
+by Facebook. We wrote a connector for it to let it run queries against the Accumulo database. This
+architecture has served us well, but there were a few problems:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>we need to ingest even more massive volumes of data in real-time</li>
+  <li>we need to perform complex machine-learning calculations on even larger data-sets</li>
+  <li>we need to support ad-hoc queries, plus long-term data warehouse functionality</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>So, we&#8217;ve started gradually moving the core machine-learning pipeline to a streaming based
+solution. This way we can ingest and process larger data-sets faster in the real-time. But then how
+would we take care of ad-hoc queries and long-term persistence? This is where Kudu comes in. While
+the machine learning pipeline ingests and processes real-time data, we store a copy of the same
+ingested data in Kudu for long-term access and ad-hoc queries. Kudu is our <em>data warehouse</em>. By
+using Kudu and Impala, we can retire our in-house Presto connector and rely on Impala&#8217;s
+super-fast query engine.</p>
+
+<p>But how would we make sure data is reliably ingested into the streaming pipeline <em>and</em> the
+Kudu-based data warehouse? This is where Apache Flume comes in.</p>
+
+<h2 id="why-flume">Why Flume</h2>
+
+<p>According to their <a href="http://flume.apache.org/">website</a> &#8220;Flume is a distributed, reliable, and
+available service for efficiently collecting, aggregating, and moving large amounts of log data.
+It has a simple and flexible architecture based on streaming data flows. It is robust and fault
+tolerant with tunable reliability mechanisms and many failover and recovery mechanisms.&#8221; As you
+can see, nowhere is Hadoop mentioned but Flume is typically used for ingesting data to Hadoop
+clusters.</p>
+
+<p><img src="https://blogs.apache.org/flume/mediaresource/ab0d50f6-a960-42cc-971e-3da38ba3adad" alt="png" /></p>
+
+<p>Flume has an extensible architecture. An instance of Flume, called an <em>agent</em>, can have multiple
+<em>channels</em>, with each having multiple <em>sources</em> and <em>sinks</em> of various types. Sources queue data
+in channels, which in turn write out data to sinks. Such <em>pipelines</em> can be chained together to
+create even more complex ones. There may be more than one agent and agents can be configured to
+support failover and recovery.</p>
+
+<p>Flume comes with a bunch of built-in types of channels, sources and sinks. Memory channel is the
+default (an in-memory queue with no persistence to disk), but other options such as Kafka- and
+File-based channels are also provided. As for the sources, Avro, JMS, Thrift, spooling directory
+source are some of the built-in ones. Flume also ships with many sinks, including sinks for writing
+data to HDFS, HBase, Hive, Kafka, as well as to other Flume agents.</p>
+
+<p>In the rest of this post I&#8217;ll go over the Kudu Flume sink and show you how to configure Flume to
+write ingested data to a Kudu table. The sink has been part of the Kudu distribution since the 0.8
+release and the source code can be found <a href="https://github.com/apache/kudu/tree/master/java/kudu-flume-sink">here</a>.</p>
+
+<h2 id="configuring-the-kudu-flume-sink">Configuring the Kudu Flume Sink</h2>
+
+<p>Here is a sample flume configuration file:</p>
+
+<pre><code>agent1.sources  = source1
+agent1.channels = channel1
+agent1.sinks = sink1
+
+agent1.sources.source1.type = exec
+agent1.sources.source1.command = /usr/bin/vmstat 1
+agent1.sources.source1.channels = channel1
+
+agent1.channels.channel1.type = memory
+agent1.channels.channel1.capacity = 10000
+agent1.channels.channel1.transactionCapacity = 1000
+
+agent1.sinks.sink1.type = org.apache.flume.sink.kudu.KuduSink
+agent1.sinks.sink1.masterAddresses = localhost
+agent1.sinks.sink1.tableName = stats
+agent1.sinks.sink1.channel = channel1
+agent1.sinks.sink1.batchSize = 50
+agent1.sinks.sink1.producer = org.apache.kudu.flume.sink.SimpleKuduEventProducer
+</code></pre>
+
+<p>We define a source called <code>source1</code> which simply executes a <code>vmstat</code> command to continuously generate
+virtual memory statistics for the machine and queue events into an in-memory <code>channel1</code> channel,
+which in turn is used for writing these events to a Kudu table called <code>stats</code>. We are using
+<code>org.apache.kudu.flume.sink.SimpleKuduEventProducer</code> as the producer. <code>SimpleKuduEventProducer</code> is
+the built-in and default producer, but it&#8217;s implemented as a showcase for how to write Flume
+events into Kudu tables. For any serious functionality we&#8217;d have to write a custom producer. We
+need to make this producer and the <code>KuduSink</code> class available to Flume. We can do that by simply
+copying the <code>kudu-flume-sink-&lt;VERSION&gt;.jar</code> jar file from the Kudu distribution to the
+<code>$FLUME_HOME/plugins.d/kudu-sink/lib</code> directory in the Flume installation. The jar file contains
+<code>KuduSink</code> and all of its dependencies (including Kudu java client classes).</p>
+
+<p>At a minimum, the Kudu Flume Sink needs to know where the Kudu masters are
+(<code>agent1.sinks.sink1.masterAddresses = localhost</code>) and which Kudu table should be used for writing
+Flume events to (<code>agent1.sinks.sink1.tableName = stats</code>). The Kudu Flume Sink doesn&#8217;t create this
+table, it has to be created before the Kudu Flume Sink is started.</p>
+
+<p>You may also notice the <code>batchSize</code> parameter. Batch size is used for batching up to that many
+Flume events and flushing the entire batch in one shot. Tuning batchSize properly can have a huge
+impact on ingest performance of the Kudu cluster.</p>
+
+<p>Here is a complete list of KuduSink parameters:</p>
+
+<table>
+  <thead>
+    <tr>
+      <th>Parameter Name</th>
+      <th>Default</th>
+      <th>Description</th>
+    </tr>
+  </thead>
+  <tbody>
+    <tr>
+      <td>masterAddresses</td>
+      <td>N/A</td>
+      <td>Comma-separated list of &#8220;host:port&#8221; pairs of the masters (port optional)</td>
+    </tr>
+    <tr>
+      <td>tableName</td>
+      <td>N/A</td>
+      <td>The name of the table in Kudu to write to</td>
+    </tr>
+    <tr>
+      <td>producer</td>
+      <td>org.apache.kudu.flume.sink.SimpleKuduEventProducer</td>
+      <td>The fully qualified class name of the Kudu event producer the sink should use</td>
+    </tr>
+    <tr>
+      <td>batchSize</td>
+      <td>100</td>
+      <td>Maximum number of events the sink should take from the channel per transaction, if available</td>
+    </tr>
+    <tr>
+      <td>timeoutMillis</td>
+      <td>30000</td>
+      <td>Timeout period for Kudu operations, in milliseconds</td>
+    </tr>
+    <tr>
+      <td>ignoreDuplicateRows</td>
+      <td>true</td>
+      <td>Whether to ignore errors indicating that we attempted to insert duplicate rows into Kudu</td>
+    </tr>
+  </tbody>
+</table>
+
+<p>Let&#8217;s take a look at the source code for the built-in producer class:</p>
+
+<pre><code class="language-java">public class SimpleKuduEventProducer implements KuduEventProducer {
+  private byte[] payload;
+  private KuduTable table;
+  private String payloadColumn;
+
+  public SimpleKuduEventProducer(){
+  }
+
+  @Override
+  public void configure(Context context) {
+    payloadColumn = context.getString("payloadColumn","payload");
+  }
+
+  @Override
+  public void configure(ComponentConfiguration conf) {
+  }
+
+  @Override
+  public void initialize(Event event, KuduTable table) {
+    this.payload = event.getBody();
+    this.table = table;
+  }
+
+  @Override
+  public List&lt;Operation&gt; getOperations() throws FlumeException {
+    try {
+      Insert insert = table.newInsert();
+      PartialRow row = insert.getRow();
+      row.addBinary(payloadColumn, payload);
+
+      return Collections.singletonList((Operation) insert);
+    } catch (Exception e){
+      throw new FlumeException("Failed to create Kudu Insert object!", e);
+    }
+  }
+
+  @Override
+  public void close() {
+  }
+}
+</code></pre>
+
+<p><code>SimpleKuduEventProducer</code> implements the <code>org.apache.kudu.flume.sink.KuduEventProducer</code> interface,
+which itself looks like this:</p>
+
+<pre><code class="language-java">public interface KuduEventProducer extends Configurable, ConfigurableComponent {
+  /**
+   * Initialize the event producer.
+   * @param event to be written to Kudu
+   * @param table the KuduTable object used for creating Kudu Operation objects
+   */
+  void initialize(Event event, KuduTable table);
+
+  /**
+   * Get the operations that should be written out to Kudu as a result of this
+   * event. This list is written to Kudu using the Kudu client API.
+   * @return List of {@link org.kududb.client.Operation} which
+   * are written as such to Kudu
+   */
+  List&lt;Operation&gt; getOperations();
+
+  /*
+   * Clean up any state. This will be called when the sink is being stopped.
+   */
+  void close();
+}
+</code></pre>
+
+<p><code>public void configure(Context context)</code> is called when an instance of our producer is instantiated
+by the KuduSink. SimpleKuduEventProducer&#8217;s implementation looks for a producer parameter named
+<code>payloadColumn</code> and uses its value (&#8220;payload&#8221; if not overridden in Flume configuration file) as the
+column which will hold the value of the Flume event payload. If you recall from above, we had
+configured the KuduSink to listen for events generated from the <code>vmstat</code> command. Each output row
+from that command will be stored as a new row containing a <code>payload</code> column in the <code>stats</code> table.
+<code>SimpleKuduEventProducer</code> does not have any configuration parameters, but if it had any we would
+define them by prefixing it with <code>producer.</code> (<code>agent1.sinks.sink1.producer.parameter1</code> for
+example).</p>
+
+<p>The main producer logic resides in the <code>public List&lt;Operation&gt; getOperations()</code> method. In
+SimpleKuduEventProducer&#8217;s implementation we simply insert the binary body of the Flume event into
+the Kudu table. Here we call Kudu&#8217;s <code>newInsert()</code> to initiate an insert, but could have used
+<code>Upsert</code> if updating an existing row was also an option, in fact there&#8217;s another producer
+implementation available for doing just that: <code>SimpleKeyedKuduEventProducer</code>. Most probably you
+will need to write your own custom producer in the real world, but you can base your implementation
+on the built-in ones.</p>
+
+<p>In the future, we plan to add more flexible event producer implementations so that creation of a
+custom event producer is not required to write data to Kudu. See
+<a href="https://gerrit.cloudera.org/#/c/4034/">here</a> for a work-in-progress generic event producer for
+Avro-encoded Events.</p>
+
+<h2 id="conclusion">Conclusion</h2>
+
+<p>Kudu is a scalable data store which lets us ingest insane amounts of data per second. Apache Flume
+helps us aggregate data from various sources, and the Kudu Flume Sink lets us easily store
+the aggregated Flume events into Kudu. Together they enable us to create a data warehouse out of
+disparate sources.</p>

+on October 11th. This is a bug fix release which fixes several bugs found
+in 1.0.0. See the &lt;a href=&quot;http://kudu.apache.org/releases/1.0.1/docs/release_notes.html&quot;&gt;Kudu 1.0.1 release notes&lt;/a&gt;

+for the next few months. The proposal is to have a 1.1 release in mid-November and
+a 1.2 release in mid-January. These would be time-based releases rather than
+gated on any particular feature scope; however, it’s anticipated that several
+new features and improvements will be ready in time for these releases.&lt;/p&gt;

+  &lt;li&gt;

+    &lt;p&gt;JD Cryans has been working on cleaning up the Java client. Several complex pieces
+of code were completely removed, and other parts were refactored into new
+standalone classes for better modularity. Along the way, JD also
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://gerrit.cloudera.org:8080/4706&quot;&gt;reduced lock contention&lt;/a&gt; on a frequently-accessed
+data structure.&lt;/p&gt;
+  &lt;/li&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;
+    &lt;p&gt;Todd Lipcon implemented and committed Raft “pre-elections” as described in the
+[election storm mitigation design document]((https://docs.google.com/document/d/1066W63e2YUTNnecmfRwgAHghBPnL1Pte_gJYAaZ_Bjo/edit).
+Initial experiments, detailed in the document, indicate that this will substantially
+improve leader stability on clusters with overloaded disks and lots of tablets.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+    &lt;p&gt;Following this patch, Todd worked on some cleanup and refactor of the Consensus
+implementation, removing a bunch of dead code and splitting some classes up
+into smaller pieces. This is preparing for some improvements in locking
+granularity also described in the same document.&lt;/p&gt;
+  &lt;/li&gt;
+  &lt;li&gt;
+    &lt;p&gt;Dan Burkert and Todd Lipcon have started submitting patches to integrate Kerberos
+authentication with Kudu’s RPC system. Dan posted a
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://gerrit.cloudera.org/#/c/4752/&quot;&gt;patch&lt;/a&gt; which adds “MiniKDC”, some test
+infrastructure for starting and stopping a standalone Kerberos service in
+the context of a test. Todd worked on adding
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://gerrit.cloudera.org/#/c/4763/&quot;&gt;support for Kerberos authentication&lt;/a&gt;
+during RPC negotiation.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+    &lt;p&gt;These patches are just the beginning of the security work, but form an important
+base to build on top of. The design uses Kerberos both as a mechanism to authenticate
+clients as well as a way to mutually authenticate tablet servers with the master.&lt;/p&gt;

-in place of &lt;code&gt;org.kududb&lt;/code&gt;. This was done in a &lt;strong&gt;backward-incompatible&lt;/strong&gt; way, meaning that import

-version (from 0.10.0 onward). This stems from &lt;a href=&quot;http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/kudu-dev/201605.mbox/%3CCAGpTDNcJohQBgjzXafXJQdqmBB4sL495p5V_BJRXk_nAGWbzhA@mail.gmail.com%3E&quot;&gt;a discussion&lt;/a&gt;

-generic Exception objects, making it a guessing game and discouraging good error handling.
-Now, the synchronous client’s methods throw &lt;code&gt;KuduException&lt;/code&gt; which packages a &lt;code&gt;Status&lt;/code&gt; object
-that can be interrogated. This is very similar to how the C++ API works.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-    &lt;p&gt;Existing code that uses the new Kudu JAR should still compile since this change replaces generic
