Flume package status for F21 and Rawhide

[Javi Roman]

Hello I would like share with you the current status of Flume package.
Gil Cattaneo is working in many of the package dependencies, great
work!

The package builds with this assumptions (we are working on this issues):

1. The code is not ready for Thrift v0.9.1 available in Fedora 21,
however Flume code can builds using legacy Thrift built-in code
available in the upstream Flume TGZ.
2. Disable ElasticSearch Sink
3. Disable Morphline Solr Sink
4. Disable Twitter Source
5. Disable Kite Dataset Sink

In order to build Flume with full features those are the dependency
packages and status:

1. Package: irclib [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=976049] (flume)

Pushed to the Fedora 21 testing repository.

2. Package: mapdb [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1178861] (flume)

submitted as an update for Fedora 21

3. Package: asynchbase (flume)

No added for revision in bugzilla.

4. Package: suasync (asynchbase)

No added for revision in bugzilla.

5. Package: parquet [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1073017] (kite)

Requesting review!

8. maxmind-db-java [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1179309] (kite)

9. Package ua-parser-java
[https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1179342] (kite)

Pushed to the Fedora 21 testing repository.

Another question about default files in Flume package. Hortonworks and
Cloudera (Bigtop tools for packaging) are shipping default
configuration files in /etc/default, for example
/etc/default/flume-agent. I don't know if this is a good practice from
a Fedora packaging guidelines, what do you think?

A help with the package reviews are welcome!

Many thanks.
