New charm: apache-flume-syslog

[Kevin W Monroe]

This charm provides a Flume agent designed to receive remote syslog events and send them to the apache-flume-hdfs agent for storage into the shared filesystem (HDFS) of a connected Hadoop cluster. Think of this charm as a replacement for rsyslog, sending syslog events to HDFS instead of writing them to a local filesystem.

Big Data charmers need to review the current state of this charm and verify its readiness for the charm store.

My initial readme told people to pull logs from a mysql unit. That was silly since not everyone needs a mysql unit in this kind of deployment. The rsyslog-forwarder-ha service that we use can sit on any unit (juju-info), so i've updated the readme to stick it on hdfs-master. This makes for a simpler deployment/testing experience.

This looks good and works as expected.

Now we just need a charmer to set up the alias and promote this.

Thanks Cory! I've frozen the source in the related ~bigdata-charmers staging branch. Assigning this to 'nobody' to get a ~charmer's blessing.
