Can we put data into HDFS from the nifi which in not part of any cluster

I have HDP-Ambari with 4 node cluster, and I have installed nifi as standalone server in the master node machine

Can get the data from my local machine and store them in HDFS ?

You need to copy the core-site.xml and hdfs-site.xml from your HDP cluster to the machine where NiFi is running. Then configure PutHDFS so that the configuration resources are "/path/to/core-site.xml,/path/to/hdfs-site.xml". That is all that is required from the NiFi perspective, those files contain all of the information it needs to connect to the Hadoop cluster.

You'll also need to ensure that the machine where NiFi is running has network access to all of the machines in your Hadoop cluster. You can look through those config files and find any hostnames and IP addresses and make sure they can be accessed from the machine where NiFi is running.

Hi Geoffrey,

Thanks , I have placed the same as you suggested , (PFB snapshot)

But still the data is not moving from local to HDFS

Did you remember this part?

"You'll also need to ensure that the machine where NiFi is running has network access to all of the machines in your Hadoop cluster."

Please revert

@Naveenraj Devadoss

What was the solution? Did you update the network config in /etc/host?
