Description

Description of sink type for HBase sink in documentation is wrong. It should be org.apache.flume.sink.hbase.HBaseSink instead of org.apache.flume.sink.HBaseSink.

Also, example configuration is missing serializer and column attributes to make it functional.

Here are the properties I had to add to make it work:

# HBase
agent.sinks.hbase-sink-1.channel = mem-channel-2
agent.sinks.hbase-sink-1.type = org.apache.flume.sink.hbase.HBaseSink
agent.sinks.hbase-sink-1.table = flume_data
agent.sinks.hbase-sink-1.columnFamily = events
agent.sinks.hbase-sink-1.batchSize = 100

# Missing properties in example
agent.sinks.hbase-sink-1.column = value
agent.sinks.hbase-sink-1.serializer = org.apache.flume.sink.hbase.SimpleHbaseEventSerializer
agent.sinks.hbase-sink-1.serializer.payloadColumn = payload
