I am looking for some example to insert a field when using escape sequence.
For instance if I use %{host} or %{ip} then how do I insert it when writing
an event? Also how to find out the default sequences already supported by
flume?

Hey Mohit,

Not sure if this is what you mean - but one area where flume supports
escape sequence is in the HDFS sink target directory.

http://flume.apache.org/releases/1.2.0.html

There is a list of sequences on page 13. This lets you create
directories/filenames in HDFS that correspond to event properties.
