True, but I'm experimenting with using Flume as a replacement for a system that is already
in place. I actually got the numbers I listed below by grabbing data directly off of the
UDP stream and saving them to a file on local disk. Its possible that UDP data is getting
lost in the network somewhere, but if that were the case I wouldn't know about it. I am comparing
Flume's performance to a single process writing to a local disk.
