HDF has processor for connecting to HDFS (listHDFS, fetchHDFS, GetHDFSSequenceFile, putHDFS and getHDFS)

provide core-site.xml and hdfs-site.xml for the remote cluster @cokorda putra susila

@cokorda putra susila NiFi already includes the HDFS core libraries. So no need to install Hadoop on the NiFi server. Just need to the config files (i.e - core-site.xml) as Artem suggests.
