flume 使用遇到问题及解决

1. ../flume/fchannel/spool/data/ 目录下发生缓存文件积压

可能原因：同一时间同一客户端下向两个监控目录mv文件；或同一时间多个客户端向服务端上传文件

2.清空../flume/fchannel/spool/data/ 目录下文件重启后，监控目录下的文件发生积压，没有上传

flume.log里面重复一个异常：

原因是：清空../flume/fchannel/spool/data/ 目录下文件的同时也需要清空../flume/fchannel/spool/checkpoint/ 目录下的文件

另，有几个关于flume的问题：

1. flume支持监控目录有子目录的情况，但是同时向两个或多个子目录mv文件的时候，对文件大小有没有限制？

2. flume支持同时多少客户端向同一监控目录下mv文件呢？

3. flume客户端的/opt/soft/flume/fchannel/spool/data目录下的文件的作用是？

4. 怎么有效验证flume客户端上传文件是否成功呢？
