Steps in Flume configurations

Flume can process streaming data. So if it is begun once, there is no stop or end to the process. Asynchronously it can flows information from source to HDFS by agent.
First of all agent must know person components how they are associated to load information. So configuration is trigger to load the streaming data.
For example consumer key, consumer secret access Token and access Token Secret are key factor to download data.
To configure Flume, we have to modify three files namely, flume-env.sh, flumeconf.properties, and bash.rc.
Setting the Path/Classpath, in the .bashrc file, set the home folder then the path, and the classpath for Flume as given below,

In case you configure the apache flume you have the files are flume-conf.properties.template,flume-env.sh.template,flume-env.ps1.template, and log4j.properties.

Flume defines a simple pipeline structure with three roles:

Sources define where data comes from, e.g. a file, a message queue (Kafka,JMS).
Channels are pipes connecting sources with sinks.
Sinks are the destination of the data pipelined from sources.
