This adapter sample illustrates the use of the TIBCO StreamBase® Text File Reader Adapter for Apache Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) by reading a file and emitting a tuple that contains the file's contents in a string field.
The MyFile.txt
file used in this sample must be placed on your HDFS file system before this sample can run.
You must also open the filereader.sbapp
file in the src/main/eventflow/
folder. Select the Parameters tab and edit the packageName
HDFS_FILE_PATH
and HDFS_USER
values to represent your HDFS setup, as well as to be able to access the required files.
