PutAzureEventHub

Description:

Sends the contents of a FlowFile to Windows Azure Event Hubs. Note: the content of the FlowFile will be buffered into memory before being sent, so care should be taken to avoid sending FlowFiles to this Processor that exceed the amount of Java Heap Space available. Also please be aware that this processor creates a thread pool of 4 threads for Event Hub Client. They will be extra threads other than the concurrent tasks scheduled for this processor.
