Re: preserve syslog header in hdfs sink

Thanks for the tip!  I was indeed missing the interceptors.  I've added 
them now but the timestamp and hostname is still not showing up in the 
hdfs log.  Any advice?

Re: preserve syslog header in hdfs sink

Posted by Ryan Suarez <ry...@sheridancollege.ca>.
oops, my bad.  Typo in my config file. I incorrectly put 
fileType=datastream instead of hdfs.fileType=datastream.  Thanks Jeff!  
It's working for me now. I see timestamp and hostname.

regards,
Ryan

Re: preserve syslog header in hdfs sink

Posted by Ryan Suarez <ry...@sheridancollege.ca>.
Ok, I've added hdfs.fileType = datastream and sink.serializer = 
header_and_text.  But I'm still seeing the logs written in sequence 
format.  Any ideas?

Re: preserve syslog header in hdfs sink

Posted by Jeff Lord <jl...@cloudera.com>.
Well you are writing a sequence file (default) Is that what you want?
If you want text use:

hdfs.fileType = datastream

and for the serializer you should be able to just use:

a1.sinks.k1.sink.serializer = header_and_text
