Apache Flume in Hadoop is used to move a large quantity of streaming data in HDFS. It is used to collect log data that is available in the log files from web servers and aggregate it in HDFS to analyze. It supports a number of data sources including:

  • Tail: It helps to pipe data from local files to write in HDFS. It is similar to the ‘tail’ command in UNIX.
  • Apache log4j: It is used to enable Java applications in order to write events to HDFS files using Flume.
