A weird problem about HDFS+flume+HIVE

avatar
Expert Contributor

We installed HDP2.5 and using flume to extract data from ORACLE to HDFS, and then using HIVE EXTERNAL table to query. It seems run no problem. But today we encounter a weird problem:

When we query in HIVE table, it only returned 11 rows while there are 11157 rows in the file.

OK

And I also found the size of the file only 761 bytes, but in local it is 899533 bytes, and real have 11157 lines

Some flume conf are below:

agent.sources.sqlSource.hibernate.connection.provider_class = org.hibernate.connection.C3P0ConnectionProvider
agent.sources.sqlSource.hibernate.c3p0.min_size=1
agent.sources.sqlSource.hibernate.c3p0.max_size=12
agent.sinks.hdfssink.type = hdfs
agent.sinks.hdfssink.channel = ch8
agent.sinks.hdfssink.hdfs.path = hdfs://insightcluster132.huawei.com:8020/user/hadoop/BAR_RLTD_INF
agent.sinks.hdfssink.hdfs.fileType = DataStream
agent.sinks.hdfssink.hdfs.filePrefix = bar_rltd_inf
agent.sinks.hdfssink.hdfs.rollInterval = 0
agent.sinks.hdfssink.hdfs.rollSize = 0
agent.sinks.hdfssink.hdfs.rollCount = 0
agent.sinks.hdfssink.hdfs.threadsPoolSize = 18
agent.sinks.hdfssink.hdfs.batchSize = 10


I think the problem might in HDFS or FLUME, anyone can help?

We solved it by adding following in flume conf

agent.sinks.hdfssink.hdfs.idleTimeout = 300
