Simply, it has bidirectional flow whereas Flume only moves data to HDFS. There's also visual UI for real time command and control as opposed to Flume with only configuration property files to deal with. If you are in the beginning stages, do yourself a favor and go with Nifi. </P> Sun, 02 Oct 2016 05:04:27 GMT aervits 2016-10-02T05:04:27Z https://community.cloudera.com/t5/Archives-of-Support-Questions/Log-Analysis-Data-Ingestion/m-p/105289#M42364 <P>Hi,</P><P>We are planning to do a prototype of Hadoop Log Analysis and not sure which Data ingestion tool should we select - Nifi or Flume.
