What is difference between memory channel and file channel in flume?..

Answer / Devesh Tripathi

Memory Channel and File Channel are two types of channels in Apache Flume. Memory Channel stores events temporarily in the JVM heap, while File Channel persists them on disk.nMemory Channel offers faster event delivery but has a limited capacity, whereas File Channel provides higher throughput with better reliability at the cost of slower event processing.
