I am trying to setup a sink for hdfs for HTTPSource . But I get the following exception when I try to send a simple Json event. I am also using a logger sink and I can clearly see the event output to the console window but it fails to write to hdfs. I have also in a separate conf file successfully written to hdfs sink.

Thanks,
Vikram

Hi,

Check your HDFS cluster, he's not responding on localhost/127.0.0.1:50030

I was able to write using the same hdfs conf from a different sink.
Also, I can open the MapRed administration page successfully at
http://localhost:50030/jobtracker.jsp So that should indicate that the
hdfs path below is valid right? Any other way to check?

Thanks.

Its a jobtracker uri

There shd be a conf in ur hdfs-site.xml and core-site.xml which looks like
hdfs://localhost:9100/

You need to use that value

the correct value maps to this fs.default.name in your core-site.xml

so whatever value you have there, you will need to use same for flume hdfs
sink

Thanks for your prompt replies. I had switched my core-site.xml and was now using 8020.
That worked, however, I am getting the following output on the console:
Once I send the event to the flume source, it correctly outputs it to the console but display the following messages in the log:
2013-01-13 23:28:20,178 (hdfs-hdfssink-call-runner-0) [INFO - org.apache.flume.sink.hdfs.BucketWriter.doOpen(BucketWriter.java:208)] Creating hdfs://localhost:8020/usr/FlumeData.1358148499961.tmp
2013-01-13 23:28:50,237 (hdfs-hdfssink-roll-timer-0) [INFO - org.apache.flume.sink.hdfs.BucketWriter.renameBucket(BucketWriter.java:427)] Renaming hdfs://localhost:8020/usr/FlumeData.1358148499961.tmp to hdfs://localhost:8020/usr/FlumeData.1358148499961

Notice the time difference between the 'Creating..' and 'Renaming…' lines. Is about 30 secs normal ?

Then when I actually go to the dfs file system I do find the FlumeData.1358148499961 file as expected.

that might the default hdfs sink rollover time.

you can always configure it the way you want
1) Number of events in each time
2) How much time you want till a the file gets rolled over
etc

that might the default hdfs sink rollover time.

you can always configure it the way you want
1) Number of events in each time
2) How much time you want till a the file gets rolled over
etc

Thanks for your prompt replies. I had switched my core-site.xml and was now using 8020.
That worked, however, I am getting the following output on the console:
Once I send the event to the flume source, it correctly outputs it to the console but display the following messages in the log:
2013-01-13 23:28:20,178 (hdfs-hdfssink-call-runner-0) [INFO - org.apache.flume.sink.hdfs.BucketWriter.doOpen(BucketWriter.java:208)] Creating hdfs://localhost:8020/usr/FlumeData.1358148499961.tmp

Notice the time difference between the 'Creating..' and 'Renaming…' lines. Is about 30 secs normal ?

Then when I actually go to the dfs file system I do find the FlumeData.1358148499961 file as expected.

Its a jobtracker uri

There shd be a conf in ur hdfs-site.xml and core-site.xml which looks like
hdfs://localhost:9100/

You need to use that value

I was able to write using the same hdfs conf from a different sink.
Also, I can open the MapRed administration page successfully at
http://localhost:50030/jobtracker.jsp So that should indicate that the
hdfs path below is valid right? Any other way to check?

Thanks.
