Flume is extensible and designed to be able to deliver data to many data storage and management systems. At its core it is designed to deliver data reliably to Hadoop's HDFS. It also has a plugin interface that allows contributers to add different sources and different sinks for their data. Here is a list of different systems Flume can or will deliver data to (NOTE: the core flume developers depend on the contributors to supported these):
- Cassandra Sink
- Elastic Search Sink
- Voldemort
- AMQP via RabbitMQ
- MongoDb (in progress)
- JRuby Plugins Chris Howe, Infochimps
- FlumeBase Streaming SQL queries for Flume. Aaron Kimball, Odiago
- Flume-OpenTSDB plugin by Dani Rayan, Riot Games.
