采集需求：比如业务系统使用log4j生成的日志，日志内容不断增加，需要把追加到日志文件中的数据实时采集到hdfs。
根据需求，首先定义以下3大要素
- 采集源，即source——监控文件内容更新 :
exec ‘tail -F file’ - 下沉目标，即sink——HDFS文件系统 :
hdfs sink - Source和sink之间的传递通道——channel，可用file channel 也可以用 内存channel
配置文件编写：
agent1.sources = source1 agent1.sinks = sink1 agent1.channels = channel1 # Describe/configure tail -F source1 agent1.sources.source1.type = exec agent1.sources.source1.command = tail -F /home/hadoop/logs/access_log agent1.sources.source1.channels = channel1 #configure host for source agent1.sources.source1.interceptors = i1 agent1.sources.source1.interceptors.i1.type = host agent1.sources.source1.interceptors.i1.hostHeader = hostname # Describe sink1 agent1.sinks.sink1.type = hdfs #a1.sinks.k1.channel = c1 agent1.sinks.sink1.hdfs.path =hdfs://hdp-node-01:9000/weblog/flume-collection/%y-%m-%d/%H-%M agent1.sinks.sink1.hdfs.filePrefix = access_log agent1.sinks.sink1.hdfs.maxOpenFiles = 5000 agent1.sinks.sink1.hdfs.batchSize= 100 agent1.sinks.sink1.hdfs.fileType = DataStream agent1.sinks.sink1.hdfs.writeFormat =Text agent1.sinks.sink1.hdfs.rollSize = 102400 agent1.sinks.sink1.hdfs.rollCount = 1000000 agent1.sinks.sink1.hdfs.rollInterval = 60 agent1.sinks.sink1.hdfs.round = true agent1.sinks.sink1.hdfs.roundValue = 10 agent1.sinks.sink1.hdfs.roundUnit = minute agent1.sinks.sink1.hdfs.useLocalTimeStamp = true # Use a channel which buffers events in memory agent1.channels.channel1.type = memory agent1.channels.channel1.keep-alive = 120 agent1.channels.channel1.capacity = 500000 agent1.channels.channel1.transactionCapacity = 600 # Bind the source and sink to the channel agent1.sources.source1.channels = channel1 agent1.sinks.sink1.channel = channel1

Flume支持众多的source和sink类型，详细手册可参考官方文档:
