Description

Running bin/flume-ng fails silently if you specify HADOOP_HOME as a relative path (and you're using the HDFS sink). After configuration, the agent just blocks. It has something to do with the way the path is resolved. Very strange. I don't have time to debug right now, but I didn't want to lose this.
