Flume data is not in text format

[#1]

I have configured flume conf file to write the data in text format, however, i couldn't see the data in text format and below is the screen shot.

I see some non-printable characters intially and then i can see text data. I just want to get rid of non-printable characters.

Above posted data is in Sequence file format. If you are using the HDFS sink, please specify the following on your agent hdfsSink conf:

agent.sinks.hdfsSink.hdfs.fileType = DataStream
agent.sinks.hdfsSink.hdfs.writeFormat = Text
