simple usage:
unzip the apache-flume-1.3.1-bin.zip
run bin/flume.bat for agent. 
run bin/flume-avroclient.bat for avro-client. 
Need modify for your own env. 
detail:
(To compile flume-ng on windows, please reference http://mapredit.blogspot.com/2012/07/run-flume-13x-on-windows.html or my chinese version http://abloz.com/2013/02/18/compile-under-windows-flume-1-3-1.html)

1.download the windows version of flume 1.3.1 file apache-flume-1.3.1-bin.zip from http://abloz.com/flume/windows_download.html
2.unzip the apache-flume-1.3.1-bin.zip to a directory.
3.install jdk 1.6 from oracle,and set JAVA_HOME of the env.
download from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
4.test agent:
4.1 modify settings of conf/console.conf,conf/hdfs.conf for agent test.
4.2 test source syslog, sink: console out agent
4.2.1 check flume.bat,modify the variables to your env.
4.2.2 click flume.bat
4.2.3 on another computer run command:
echo "<13>test msg" >/tmp/msg
nc -v your_flume_sysloghost port < /tmp/msg
4.2.4 check your syslog host flume output
4.2.5 samples see http://abloz.com/2013/02/18/compile-under-windows-flume-1-3-1.html
4.3 test avro-client
4.3.1 run a avro source flume agent on a node.
4.3.2 modify flume-avroclient.bat and head.txt
4.3.3 run flume-avroclient.bat

tested on windows7 32bit version

enjoy!

Why Is Customer Obsession Disappearing?

By
Many companies trade real customer-obsession for automated, low-empathy support. Through examples from Coinbase, PayPal, GO Telecommunications and AT&T, this article shows how reliance on AI chatbots, outsourced call centers, and KPI-driven workflows erodes trust, NPS and customer retention. It argues that human-centric support—treating support as strategic investment instead of cost—is still a core growth engine in competitive markets. It's wild that even with all the cool tech we've got these days, like AI solving complex equations and doing business across time zones in a flash, so many companies are still struggling with the basics: taking care of their customers. The drama around Coinbase's customer support is a prime example of even tech giants messing up. And it's not just Coinbase — it's a big-picture issue for the whole industry. At some point, the idea of "customer obsession" got replaced with "customer automation," and no...

How to scale MySQL perfectly

By
When MySQL reaches its limits, scaling cannot rely on hardware alone. This article explains how strategic techniques such as caching, sharding and operational optimisation can drastically reduce load and improve application responsiveness. It outlines how in-memory systems like Redis or Memcached offload repeated reads, how horizontal sharding mechanisms distribute data for massive scale, and how tools such as Vitess, ProxySQL and HAProxy support routing, failover and cluster management. The summary also highlights essential practices including query tuning, indexing, replication and connection management. Together these approaches form a modern DevOps strategy that transforms MySQL from a single bottleneck into a resilient, scalable data layer able to grow with your application. When your MySQL database reaches its performance limits, vertical scaling through hardware upgrades provides a temporary solution. Long-term growth, though, requires a more comprehensive approach. This invo...

What the Heck is Superposition and Entanglement?

By
This post is about superposition and interference in simple, intuitive terms. It describes how quantum states combine, how probability amplitudes add, and why interference patterns appear in systems such as electrons, photons and waves. The goal is to give a clear, non mathematical understanding of how quantum behavior emerges from the rules of wave functions and measurement. If you’ve ever heard the words superposition or entanglement thrown around in conversations about quantum physics, you may have nodded politely while your brain quietly filed them away in the "too confusing to deal with" folder.  These aren't just theoretical quirks; they're the foundation of mind-bending tech like Google's latest quantum chip, the Willow with its 105 qubits. Superposition challenges our understanding of reality, suggesting that particles don't have definite states until observed. This principle is crucial in quantum technologies, enabling phenomena like quantum comp...
