Considering asynchronous receiver ?

[fredczj]

If all the services of a cluster make use of Collector to handle logs, metrics etc… don't you think there is a risk to have a pressure point on receiver throughput ?

Having synchronous connection to the receiver may impact the performance of some service, waiting for the collector to ingest logs… 

What about supporting a asynchronous receiver, consuming Kafka partitions for instance, to ingest different logs and metrics generated by a whole system ?

I have seen the different ways to deploy the collector, allowing different ways to consider to workload, and the applications… 

Sorry, this discussion sounds irrelevant -> I close it
