HDFS as Source

Hi,



Can we use hdfs as a source  to transfer data to another cluster (hdfs) in
flume?




Thanks & regards
Manish

There is no hdfs source because normally you want to bring data into hadoop
(it's possible to have an hdfs source but I don't think anybody had that
need)
To copy data between hdfs clusters better use "distcp" included in Hadoop
