How to fed Twitterdata via flume to hdfs over prox

Question

I have installed flume and is trying to feed Twitter data into hdfs folder.

my flume.conf file looks like as:

TwitterAgent.sources = Twitter
TwitterAgent.channels = MemChannel
TwitterAgent.sinks = HDFS
TwitterAgent.sources.Twitter.type = com.cloudera.flume.source.TwitterSource
TwitterAgent.sources.Twitter.channels = MemChannel
TwitterAgent.sources.Twitter.consumerKey = <required>
TwitterAgent.sources.Twitter.consumerSecret = <required>
TwitterAgent.sources.Twitter.accessToken = <required>
TwitterAgent.sources.Twitter.accessTokenSecret = <required>
TwitterAgent.sources.Twitter.keywords = hadoop, big data, china, india.
TwitterAgent.sinks.HDFS.channel = MemChannel
TwitterAgent.sinks.HDFS.type = hdfs
TwitterAgent.sinks.HDFS.hdfs.path = hdfs://localhost:9000/user/flume/tweets/%Y/%m/%d/%H/
TwitterAgent.sinks.HDFS.hdfs.fileType = DataStream
TwitterAgent.sinks.HDFS.hdfs.writeFormat = Text
TwitterAgent.sinks.HDFS.hdfs.batchSize = 1000
TwitterAgent.sinks.HDFS.hdfs.rollSize = 0
TwitterAgent.sinks.HDFS.hdfs.rollCount = 10000
TwitterAgent.sinks.HDFS.hdfs.rollInterval = 600
TwitterAgent.channels.MemChannel.type = memory
TwitterAgent.channels.MemChannel.capacity = 10000
TwitterAgent.channels.MemChannel.transactionCapacity = 100

and I am Encountered with the following error:

My college Network is equipped with proxy server. I think the problem is due to proxy sever.

How can I use a proxy with flume?

Answer 1

Build the jar from https://github.com/cloudera/cdh-twitter-example

Unzip, then execute inside (as mentionned) :

go to /cdh-twitter-example-master/flume-sources/src/main/java/com/cloudera/flume/source/TwitterSource.java

and add this lines

cb.setHttpProxyHost("your proxy");
cb.setHttpProxyPort(8080);//port
cb.setHttpProxyUser("");
cb.setHttpProxyPassword("");

$ cd flume-sources

$ mvn package

den put the jar from target to flume lib folder.enjoy
