What is the purpose of the Flume system?

The Flume system is an open-source distributed system used for efficiently and reliably collecting, aggregating, and transmitting large-scale log data. It offers a scalable, customizable architecture that can collect data from various sources (such as applications, server logs, sensors, etc.) and transmit data to various destinations (such as Hadoop HDFS, HBase, Kafka, etc.). The Flume system can play a crucial role in large-scale data collection and analysis scenarios, helping users to monitor and analyze system operation status in real-time, troubleshoot failures, and perform log analysis tasks.
