This document discusses Fluentd and its webhdfs output plugin. It explains how the webhdfs plugin was created in 30 minutes by leveraging existing Ruby gems for WebHDFS operations and output formatting. The document concludes that output plugins can reuse code from mixins and that developing shared mixins allows plugins to incorporate common features more easily.

Fluentd with HDFS To write data on HDFS: Java native protocol: HDFSClient.java hadoop fs -put libhdfs and its binding (like scribed) Cloudera Hoop (2011/07-) +WebHDFS (Apache 1.0-), +HttpFs (Apache 2.0-) 12年11月8日木曜日

CONCLUSION 1 WebHDFS is good enough for: continuous appending into log file daily operations to move/remove/copy/head/tail over client libraries (and your scripts) Fluentd and td-agent is good enough for: log collector before Hadoop/HDFS 12年11月8日木曜日
