答复: HDFS sink leaves .tmp files
I met the similar problem that .tmp file appears on hdfs when hdfs reboot.
I think the file dose not be closed properly . But I don't know how to
handle this problem.

Re: 答复: HDFS sink leaves .tmp files
Posted by Kathleen Ting <ka...@apache.org>.
Hi Shara,
The .tmp file contains the actual data before it is renamed to the
final file. If the .tmp file is still open, then Flume is still
holding it open in order to write to it. If Flume somehow dies and is
unable to clean up the .tmp files, then once the client lease expires,
the NameNode will consider it closed (but the NameNode will not rename
it from .tmp - we recommend writing a script to do that).
Regards, Kathleen
