| 1. What is Apache Flume |
| Flume is a distributed, reliable, and available service for |
| efficiently collecting, aggregating, and moving large amounts of event |
| 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. Flume uses a |
| simple, extensible data model that allows for online analytic |
| application. |
| |
| 2. Status of this release |
| Apache Flume 1.11.0 is the next GA release of Flume as an Apache top-level |
| project (TLP). Apache Flume 1.11.0 is production-ready software. |
| |
| 3. Major changes in this Release |
| For a detailed list of changes, please see the CHANGELOG file included |
| in this distribution. |
| |
| Apache Flume versions 1.0.0 and greater represent a major refactoring of the |
| Flume codebase and are not backwards compatible with the 0.9.x series of Flume |
| releases. However, the developers of Flume strive to maintain backwards |
| compatibility within the 1.x codeline. |
