Hey, I need help moving files from local directory to HDFS using oozie workflow. Helpless so far.

[#1]

Can any explain to me how to move files from a local directory to HDFS using oozie workflow.

Oozie works for when the data is in the cluster already.

To import data in, Flume, Scoop are recommended instead

Is there any way to pull data from my local directory using flume? Without Kafka?
