Hello, There is a property on PutHDFS where you can specify the Hadoop configuration files which tell the processor about your HDFS installation:
Hadoop Configuration Resources - A file or comma separated list of files which contains the Hadoop file system configuration. Without this, Hadoop will search the classpath for a 'core-site.xml' and 'hdfs-site.xml' file or will revert to a default configuration. I don't think it is possible to bypass the name node since the name node tracks where all the files are in HDFS. -Bryan On Thu, Oct 22, 2015 at 2:35 AM, <ramkishan.be...@bt.com> wrote: > Hi Team, > > I have been exploring NiFi for couple of days now. > > NiFi is running on a machine which is not a prt of Hadoop cluster.
