Hello, We're using Kafka for event retention and would like to stream the data directly into Hive using Flume. The problem is that only Flume 1.6 can acts as a Kafka client for now and it's not yet in the Hortonworks stack (currently HDP 2.3 still use the 1.5).
How can I get the proper flume version installed ? - Should I create a custom repository with my package in it (can't get my hands on a .rpm or .deb for this version by the way) ? - Should I create a custom service ? - Should I modify the existing service in order to change the installation behavior ? - Am I completely wrong ? Any help is welcome ;-) Best regards. -- Benjamin
