Class LocalWriter

java.lang.Object

org.apache.hadoop.chukwa.datacollection.writer.localfs.LocalWriter

All Implemented Interfaces:

ChukwaWriter

public class LocalWriter
extends Object
implements ChukwaWriter

This class is thread-safe -- rotate() and save() both synchronize on lock object.

Write data to a local fileSystem then move it to the remote HDFS
Warning:
There's no lock/waiting time for the remote client. The connection is released as soon as the last append is done, so therefore there is no guarantee that this class will not loose any data.
This class has been designed this way for performance reason.

In order to use this class, you need to define some parameters, in chukwa-collector-conf.xml

<name>chukwaCollector.localOutputDir</name>
<value>/grid/0/gs/chukwa/chukwa-0.1.2/dataSink/</value>
