Summary

In this chapter we covered several real-world considerations you need to think about when planning your Flume implementation, including the following:

• Transport time not always matching event time

• The mayhem introduced with daylight savings time to your time-based logic

• Capacity planning considerations

• Items to consider when you have more than one data center

• Data compliance

• Data expiration

I hope you enjoyed this book. Hopefully you will be able to apply much of this information directly in your application/Hadoop integration efforts.

Thanks. This was fun.
