Description

Hi guys,
I have to install flume on Windows environment and, have some issues..

1st attempt - I used a file flume-node0.9.4.exe from cloudera git website (https://github.com/cloudera/flume/downloads) than, the log files on flume give that error:
WARN agent.MultiMasterRPC: Could not connect to any master nodes (tried 1: [localhost:35872])
INFO agent.MultiMasterRPC: No active master RPC connection

2nd attempt - I downloaded flume from apache website (https://flume.apache.org/download.html) file: apache-flume-1.6.0-bin.tar.gz, extract all files and configure files: flume.conf, flume-env.sh and, executed flume-ng.cmd (command: flume-ng shaman) I don't receive any error message, just simple shutdown of flume-ng.cmd window..

Anyone has any experience with Flume on Windows sending .log files to HDFS in another environment?

Attach my file flume.conf to all see what I wanna do..

– define source, channel and sink
shaman.sources = tail_source1
shaman.channels = ch1
shaman.sinks = hdfs_sink1
– define tail source
shaman.sources.tail_source1.type = exec
shaman.sources.tail_source1.channels = ch1
shaman.sources.tail_source1.shell = /bin/bash -c
shaman.sources.tail_source1.command = tail -F F:/LogFiles/w3r54
shaman.sources.tail_source1.interceptors = ts
shaman.sources.tail_source1.interceptors.ts.type = timestamp
– define in-memory channel
shaman.channels.ch1.type = memory
shaman.channels.ch1.capacity = 100000
shaman.channels.ch1.transactionCapacity = 1000
– define HDFS sink properties
shaman.sinks.hdfs_sink1.type = hdfs
shaman.sinks.hdfs_sink1.hdfs.path = hdfs://xxxx:8020/user/admin/fromflume/%y%m%d/%H%M%S
shaman.sinks.hdfs_sink1.hdfs.fileType = DataStream
shaman.sinks.hdfs_sink1.channel = ch1

Thanks!

Alan..
