问题
Am new in the Apache Flume. I need to install the flume on top of the HDFS cluster environment. I did Google it, all are saying using the cloudera distribution but I need to install and configure from the source.
So can anyone please suggest me, where to start and how to customize the flume agent and sink services?
回答1:
I have just installed Apache Flume 1.3 on Ubuntu.
You need to download the binary zip for your OS, extract it and create a config file which is similar to properties file in Java.
The installation and running of agents is a dumb/easy process, just read this

Here is an example tutorial that I've put together that uses flume, apache, flask and kibana in a vagrant environment.
There is a video at the bottom to give a better intro:

In the course Moving Data into Hadoop offered by Big Data University at :http://bigdatauniversity.com/bdu-wp/bdu-course/moving-data-into-hadoop/ teaches you intro to flume and a lab exercise which helps you with both configuring and running flume.
