Question:
fiware cygnus channels are full

Description:
I’ve checked the Cygnus logs in the morning and see these channel errors.
It seems that ckan-channel is full and can’t continue the transactions.

What do you suggest us for this error?

Also I see that hfds-channel/sink is not even active in the logs.

Is this because ckan-channel is giving errors so that hdfs-channel is not called for this?
