Flume- Ingesting Data into Hadoop through Flume

Flume is a distributed, reliable, and available service for efficiently collecting, aggregating, and moving large amounts of log data. It has a simple and flexible architecture based on streaming data flows. It is robust and fault tolerant with tunable reliability mechanisms and many failover and recovery mechanisms. It uses a simple extensible data model that allows for online analytic application.

And here’s my promise to you. I promise that in the next couple of hours I will teach you to build things that might take you weeks to learn on your own and we will create together a Flume Ingestion and configuration experience   It’s not going to be a fully advanced and complete application set up, but it will be an amazing start to understand Flume.

Please try to do exercises and configure Flume agent and Once you are comfortable, Please submit them for my review. After couple of months, I will put in couple of more video tutorials for the exercise files.
