• Flume Frequently Asked Questions
• Setup + Installation
• Why is Flume running out of memory?
• Why is ZooKeeper a dependency? Why is it included?
• From packages, flume runs as a flume user but we can’t read certain files because they belong to root!
• How can I tell if Flume master process is running?
• Configuration
• I’ve edited my flume-site.xml but my changes aren’t showing up!
• I seem to have active nodes using a tail source but nothing seems to show up.
• Data is saved to hdfs in some *.seq sequence file. How do I make it save in something closer to its original form?
• How do I change the maximum raw event size?
• Does this version support output file compression?
• autoDFOChain stuff seems to hang!
• Using a agent or auto E2E results in many periodic duplicates!
• Huh? why isn’t the ack checking stuff in the collectorSource?
• I get this exception in my logs:
• Plugins.
• HBase Plugin doesn’t seem to be loading its configuration file, where should they go?
• Dev Stuff
• Where can I get a tar ball with source?
• I can start a Flume Master or Flume Node in eclipse but I can’t seem to load the web pages! I get a flumemaster.jsp not found error!?
• I’ve found a problem: bug with the program, typo in the docs, etc.
• Flume has weak ordering guarantees.
