flume性能参数

Flume安装

系统要求： 
需安装JDK 1.7及以上版本

1、 下载二进制包 
下载页面：http://flume.apache.org/download.html 
1.7.0下载地址：http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.lua/flume/1.7.0/apache-flume-1.7.0-bin.tar.gz

2、解压

$ cp ~/Downloads/apache-flume-1.7.0-bin.tar.gz ~
$ cd 
$ tar -zxvf apache-flume-1.7.0-bin.tar.gz
$ cd apache-flume-1.7.0-bin

3、创建flume-env.sh文件

$ cp conf/flume-env.sh.template conf/flume-env.sh

简单实例－传输指定文件

场景：两台机器，一台为client，一台为agent，在client上将指定文件传输到agent机器上。

1、创建配置文件

根据flume自身提供的模板，创建flume.conf配置文件。

$ cp conf/flume-conf.properties.template conf/flume.conf

编辑文件flume.conf：

$ vi conf/flume.conf

在文件末尾加入以下配置：

# Define a memory channel called ch1 on agent1
agent1.channels.ch1.type = memory

# Define an Avro source called avro-source1 on agent1 and tell it
# to bind to 0.0.0.0:41414. Connect it to channel ch1.
agent1.sources.avro-source1.channels = ch1
agent1.sources.avro-source1.type = avro
agent1.sources.avro-source1.bind = 0.0.0.0
agent1.sources.avro-source1.port = 41414

# Define a logger sink that simply logs all events it receives
# and connect it to the other end of the same channel.
agent1.sinks.log-sink1.channel = ch1
agent1.sinks.log-sink1.type = logger

# Finally, now that we've defined all of our components, tell
# agent1 which ones we want to activate.
agent1.channels = ch1
agent1.sources = avro-source1
agent1.sinks = log-sink1

保存，并且退出：

2、启动flume server 
在作为agent的机器上执行以下：

bin/flume-ng agent --conf ./conf/ -f conf/flume.conf -Dflume.root.logger=DEBUG,console -n agent1

3、在新的窗口开启client 
在作为client的机器上执行以下： 
（由于当前环境是在单机上模拟两台机器，所以，直接在新的终端中输入以下命令）

$ bin/flume-ng avro-client --conf conf -H localhost -p 41414 -F /etc/passwd -Dflume.root.logger=DEBUG,console

4、结果 
这个时候，你可以看到以下消息：

2012-03-16 16:39:17,124 (main) [DEBUG - org.apache.flume.client.avro.AvroCLIClient.run(AvroCLIClient.java:175)] Finished

2012-03-16 16:39:17,129 (main) [DEBUG - org.apache.flume.client.avro.AvroCLIClient.main(AvroCLIClient.java:73)] Exiting

在前面那个开启flume server的窗口，可以看到如下消息：

简单实例－将目录文件上传到HDFS

场景：将机器上的某个文件夹下的文件上传到HDFS上。

1、配置conf/flume.conf

# Define a memory channel called ch1 on agent1
agent1.channels.ch1.type = memory

# Define an Avro source called avro-source1 on agent1 and tell it
# to bind to 0.0.0.0:41414. Connect it to channel ch1.
agent1.sources.spooldir-source1.channels = ch1
agent1.sources.spooldir-source1.type = spooldir
agent1.sources.spooldir-source1.spoolDir=/home/hadoop/flume-1.7.0/tmpData
agent1.sources.spooldir-source1.bind = 0.0.0.0
agent1.sources.spooldir-source1.port = 41414

# Define a logger sink that simply logs all events it receives
# and connect it to the other end of the same channel.
agent1.sinks.hdfs-sink1.channel = ch1
agent1.sinks.hdfs-sink1.type = hdfs
agent1.sinks.hdfs-sink1.hdfs.path = hdfs://master:9000/test
agent1.sinks.hdfs-sink1.hdfs.filePrefix = events-
agent1.sinks.hdfs-sink1.hdfs.useLocalTimeStamp = true
agent1.sinks.hdfs-sink1.hdfs.round = true
agent1.sinks.hdfs-sink1.hdfs.roundValue = 10

# Finally, now that we've defined all of our components, tell
# agent1 which ones we want to activate.
agent1.channels = ch1
agent1.sources = spooldir-source1
agent1.sinks = hdfs-sink1

其中，/home/hadoop/flume-1.7.0/tmpData是我要上传的文件所在目录，也就是，我要将此文件夹下的文件都上传到HDFS上的hdfs://master:9000/test目录。

注意：

• 这样的配置会产生许多小文件，因为默认情况下，一个文件存储10个event，这个配置由rollCount控制，默认为10，此外还有一个参数为rollSize，这个是控制一个文件的大小，如果文件大于这个数值，就是另起一文件。
• 此时的文件名都是以event开头，如果想保留原来文件的名字，可以使用以下配置（其中，basenameHeader是相对source而言，filePrefix是相对sink而言，分别这样设置之后，上传到hdfs上的文件名就会变成“原始文件名.时间戳”）：

agent1.sources.spooldir-source1.basenameHeader = true
agent1.sinks.hdfs-sink1.hdfs.filePrefix = %{basename}

2、启动agent 
使用以下命令启动agent：

bin/flume-ng agent --conf ./conf/ -f ./conf/flume.conf --name agent1 -Dflume.root.logger=DEBUG,console

3、查看结果 
到Hadoop提供的WEB GUI界面可以看到刚刚上传的文件是否成功。 
GUI界面地址为：http://master:50070/explorer.html#/test 
其中，master为Hadoop的Namenode所在的机器名。

4、总结 
在这个场景，需要将文件上传到HDFS上，会使用到几个Hadoop的jar包，分别是：

${HADOOP_HOME}share/hadoop/common/hadoop-common-2.4.0.jar
${HADOOP_HOME}share/hadoop/common/lib/commons-configuration-1.6.jar
${HADOOP_HOME}share/hadoop/common/lib/hadoop-auth-2.4.0.jar
${HADOOP_HOME}share/hadoop/hdfs/hadoop-hdfs-2.4.0.jar

异常

Failed to start agent because dependencies were not found in classpath. Error follows. java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError org/apache/hadoop/io/SequenceFile$CompressionType

2016-11-03 14:49:35,278 (conf-file-poller-0) [ERROR - org.apache.flume.node.PollingPropertiesFileConfigurationProvider$FileWatcherRunnable.run(PollingPropertiesFileConfigurationProvider.java:146)] Failed to start agent because dependencies were not found in classpath. Error follows.
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/hadoop/io/SequenceFile$CompressionType

问题原因：缺少依赖包，这个依赖包是以下jar文件：

${HADOOP_HOME}share/hadoop/common/hadoop-common-2.4.0.jar

解决方法：找到这个jar文件，copy到flume安装目录下的lib目录下就ok了。

解决方法： 
编辑conf/flume.conf文件，其中agent1，sink1替换成你自己的agent和sink

agent1.sinks.sink1.hdfs.useLocalTimeStamp = true
