（1）采集需求：某服务器的某特定目录下，会不断产生新的文件，每当有新文件出现，就需要把文件采集到HDFS中去
（2）根据需求，首先定义以下3大要素
a）：采集源，即source——监控文件目录 : spooldir
b）：下沉目标，即sink——HDFS文件系统 : hdfs sink
c）：source和sink之间的传递通道——channel，可用file channel 也可以用内存channel
（3）：Channel参数解释：
capacity：默认该通道中最大的可以存储的event数量；
trasactionCapacity：每次最大可以从source中拿到或者送到sink中的event数量；
keep-alive：event添加到通道中或者移出的允许时间；
配置文件：
