Actually **in_syslog** could be used as _generic_ UDP input.. .just by giving suitable parser. I thought that if we just take **in_syslog** and copy it to as **in_udp** (some search/replace)....

@JimHagan Few weeks ago I copied **in_syslog** to **in_udp** ... replaces syslog to udp... and did some testing (didn't have to time do more...) I could try to make PR...

@leonardo-albertovich good I can remove my staled PR #2414

@osheroff You are going to fork your fork permenent (if shyiko is not active here)?? .. how about things like better MariaDB support. Seems to be that you fork/repo doesn't...

Better move to https://github.com/osheroff/mysql-binlog-connector-java shyiko has ended work with this repo.

Note: Nothing happens in this repo any more. Go to : https://github.com/osheroff/mysql-binlog-connector-java

In my opinion this whole EvenType could be handled other way. EventDataDeserializers would registered by event number (0-255) and EventType could just optional way to have EventConstants. So [EventDeserializer.java](https://github.com/shyiko/mysql-binlog-connector-java/blob/bb937bb86b899b2280cd510073761d17933342fc/src/main/java/com/github/shyiko/mysql/binlog/event/deserialization/EventDeserializer.java#L39) map...

@shyiko Is there a way to get MariaDB stuff included?? Maybe it could be done in smaller pieces.

I have access to (big/real) MariaDB instances and would want to get it supported. We haven't use binlog compression, but other features that has problems. Maybe we should have one...
