HDFS 3 Sink connector

Objective

Quickly test HDFS 3 Sink connector.

How to run

Simply run:

$ ./hdfs3-sink.sh

Details of what the script is doing

Note in this simple example, if you get into an issue with permissions at the local HDFS level, it may be easiest to unlock the permissions unless you want to debug that more.

$ docker exec namenode bash -c "/opt/hadoop-3.1.3/bin/hdfs dfs -chmod 777  /"

The connector is created with:

$ curl -X PUT \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     --data '{
               "connector.class":"io.confluent.connect.hdfs3.Hdfs3SinkConnector",
               "tasks.max":"1",
               "topics":"test_hdfs",
               "hdfs.url":"hdfs://namenode:9000",
               "flush.size":"3",
               "hadoop.conf.dir":"/etc/hadoop/",
               "partitioner.class":"io.confluent.connect.storage.partitioner.FieldPartitioner",
               "partition.field.name":"f1",
               "rotate.interval.ms":"120000",
               "hadoop.home":"/opt/hadoop-3.1.3/share/hadoop/common",
               "logs.dir":"/tmp",
               "confluent.license": "",
               "confluent.topic.bootstrap.servers": "broker:9092",
               "confluent.topic.replication.factor": "1",
               "key.converter":"org.apache.kafka.connect.storage.StringConverter",
               "value.converter":"io.confluent.connect.avro.AvroConverter",
               "value.converter.schema.registry.url":"http://schema-registry:8081",
               "schema.compatibility":"BACKWARD"
          }' \
     http://localhost:8083/connectors/hdfs3-sink/config | jq .

Messages are sent to test_hdfs topic using:

$ seq -f "{\"f1\": \"value%g\"}" 10 | docker exec -i connect kafka-avro-console-producer --broker-list broker:9092 --property schema.registry.url=http://schema-registry:8081 --topic test_hdfs --property value.schema='{"type":"record","name":"myrecord","fields":[{"name":"f1","type":"string"}]}'

After a few seconds, HDFS should contain files in /topics/test_hdfs:

$ docker exec namenode bash -c "/opt/hadoop-3.1.3/bin/hdfs dfs -ls /topics/test_hdfs"
