Note
By default the File Channel uses paths for checkpoint and data directories that are within the user home as specified above. As a result if you have more than one File Channel instances active within the agent, only one will be able to lock the directories and cause the other channel initialization to fail. It is therefore necessary that you provide explicit paths to all the configured channels, preferably on different disks. Furthermore, as file channel will sync to disk after every commit, coupling it with a sink/source that batches events together may be necessary to provide good performance where multiple disks are not available for checkpoint and data directories.
file channel需设置为不同!!!
