This means that Namenode does not have available datanode to write. This could because of varity of reasons. Please check the logs.

[#3 · Accepted solution]

i gone through the logs and i come to know that this is purely HDFS issue not flume,

so i fix it as follows:

step1:

stop all the services

Step2:

started name node

then when am trying to start the data nodes on the 3 servers,one of the server throwig the error message 

/var/log/  ----No such file/directory

/var/run --No such file/directory

But these files are existing so i check the permissions on those two differ from second server to third server

So given the permission to those directories to  be in sink

and then started all the services then flume working fine,

thats it.

-Thankyou
