Flume will try to read your files line by line, except if you configure a specific deserializer. A deserializer lets you control how the file is parsed and split into events. You could of course follow the example of the blob deserizalizer, which is designed for PDFs and such, but I understand that you actually want to unpack them and then read them line by line. In that case you would need to write a custom deserializer which reads Zip and writes line by line events.

Here's the reference in the documentation:
