Relationships Between Flume and Other Components

Relationship Between Flume and HDFS

If HDFS is configured as the Flume sink, HDFS functions as the final data storage system of Flume. Flume installs, configures, and writes all transmitted data into HDFS.

For details, see Typical Scenario: Collecting Local Static Logs and Uploading Them to HDFS and Typical Scenario: Collecting Local Dynamic Logs and Uploading Them to HDFS.

Relationship Between Flume and HBase

If HBase is configured as the Flume sink, HBase functions as the final data storage system of Flume. Flume writes all transmitted data into HBase based on configurations. For details, see Typical Scenario: Collecting Local Static Logs and Uploading Them to HBase.
