--------------------------------------
Summary: Hdfs Inotify processor
Key: NIFI-1037
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-1037
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: nicolas maillard
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 0.4.0
HDFS has an Inotify interface that enables to acces the HDFS edit stream.
Creating a processor to listen in and get notifications either for select
directories or select actions would have many applications.
- Stream to a search engine the activity on HDFS
- Wait for specific actions or files to trigger workflows, like duplication to
other clusters
- Validate ingestion processes
etc..
probably more I don't think of.
I have a first working beta version that needs to evolve
it reuses the Hadoop-nar-bundle
Needs a HDFS 2.7 and over dependency currently done through editing the
Hadop-lib bundle
let me know if this idea makes sense and would be of interest to the community
