I am using flume-ng 1.2.0 and I need to use %Y%M%D escape sequence. Do I
need to write some custom interceptor? Could you please point me to an
example? Currently my AvroClient looks like this:
*public* *void* sendDataToFlume(String data) {

// Create *flume* event object

Event event = EventBuilder.*withBody*(data, Charset.*forName*("UTF-8"));

Map<String,String> headers = *new* HashMap<String,String>();

headers.put("host", *hostName*);

event.setHeaders(headers);

*try* {

rpcClient.append(event);

} *catch* (EventDeliveryException e) {

connect();

}

}

I see this JIRA https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-1215 but how do
I take advantage of it? I am using 1.2.0 but %Y %m doesn't work. I just get
number format exceptions.

Hi Mohit,

You can configure a timestamp interceptor onto your source as follows:

agent.sources.src-0.interceptors.ts.type = TIMESTAMP

Once the timestamp interceptor is in place, you can use, in sinks, the
timestamp it writes. Here is an example of using the timestamp in an
HDFS sink:

agent.sinks.sink-0.hdfs.filePrefix = FlumeData.%Y-%m-%d

Here is more info about the timestamp interceptor:
http://flume.apache.org/FlumeUserGuide.html#timestamp-interceptor

Thanks this helps. The type specified in the example is a fully qualified
class name, however in the table it says use type as TIMESTAMP. I guess
example is not correct and I should just use TIMESTAMP.

Mohit,

As it happens, both the example and the table are correct. You can
specify either the fully qualified class name or the alias 'TIMESTAMP'
