Summary

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

• Transport time does not always match event time

• The mayhem introduced with Daylight Savings Time to certain time-based logic

• Capacity planning considerations

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

• Data compliance

• Data retention and 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!
