Flume to migrate data from MySQL to Hadoop
Please share your thoughts. The requirement is to migrate the data in MySQL db to Hadoop/HBase for analytic purposes. The data should be migrated real time or near real time. Can flume support this. What can be a better approach. AvkashChauhan The direct answer to your question is yes. Flume is designed as a distributed data transport and aggregation system for event/log structured data. If set up "correctly" flume can push data for continuous ingestion in Hadoop. This is when Flume is set up correctly to collect data from various sources (in this case MySql) and I am sure if data is available
