We have been working on Apache Flume for quite some time now. We used it to load data from Social network into MongoDB and also for log collection. Recently I read a book on Apache Flume titled "Apache Flume: Distributed Log Collection for Hadoop".
This is a good starter material for a serious Flume developer. 2nd Chapter provides a good step by step guide to setup and get running with Flume. Liked the way the flow is presented and the mention about important arguments that can be provided to Flume command line. Other useful information from this book is about the Monitoring tools. Though the description is brief good to have introduction to some tools. Overall book gives good details with examples on Flume flow and architecture which includes Channels, agents, sinks, interceptors etc. It would have been more helpful if last two chapters were elaborated more.
