What happens to reporting applications if the carbon process dies?

It depends entirely on your application. This is why many people choose
to run a statsd server. Not only does it perform aggregation and gives
you a lot of value-added statistical metrics, but the client libraries
support non-blocking udp submissions.

If your apps are submitting directly to Carbon, they're subject to
blocking behavior and timeouts if your Carbon listener(s) stop accepting
for some reason.

I have applications that implement the metrics library and report to graphite. If the carbon process terminated or the host became unavailable what is the expected impact on the application?
