flume channel

Channel中定义了2个方法, 放入event 以及取出event. 就这么简单

public interface Channel extends LifecycleAware, NamedComponent {

  /**
   * <p>Puts the given event into the channel.</p>
   * <p><strong>Note</strong>: This method must be invoked within an active
   * {@link Transaction} boundary. Failure to do so can lead to unpredictable
   * results.</p>
   * @param event the event to transport.
   * @throws ChannelException in case this operation fails.
   * @see org.apache.flume.Transaction#begin()
   */
  public void put(Event event) throws ChannelException;

  /**
   * <p>Returns the next event from the channel if available. If the channel
   * does not have any events available, this method must return {@code null}.
   * </p>
   * <p><strong>Note</strong>: This method must be invoked within an active
   * {@link Transaction} boundary. Failure to do so can lead to unpredictable
   * results.</p>
   * @return the next available event or {@code null} if no events are
   * available.
   * @throws ChannelException in case this operation fails.
   * @see org.apache.flume.Transaction#begin()
   */
  public Event take() throws ChannelException;

  /**
   * @return the transaction instance associated with this channel.
   */
  public Transaction getTransaction();
}
