Hello Christoper, I believe the latest versions of BigInsights does come with Flume 1.3 but I have been able to successfully upgrade Flume within BigInsights to the most recent version I know of ( 1.4). The steps are straight-forward.
1) Download the flume v1.4 binary tarball from the Apache Flume site. 2) Perform a backup of the 'bin' , 'lib', 'docs','conf' directory in $BIGINSIGHTS_HOME/flume/ ( I basically renamed these directories appending a 13 to their names) 3) Explode the Apache Flume Tarball into any other directory in your environment ( $HOME/flume140 probably) 4) Copy over the 'bin' , 'lib', 'docs','conf' and 'tools' directory from your Flume 1.4 directory into your $BIGINSIGHTS_HOME/flume/ ( or /opt/ibm/biginsights/flume) 5) Test flume functionality by executing the following command in the 'bin' directory ' ./flume-ng version' If everything goes right you should see that flume is updated to version 1.4. Try it out and let us know how it goes, On 13 March 2014 22:48, Christopher Shannon <[email protected]> wrote: > IBM Big Insights. > On Mar 13, 2014 4:47 PM, "Brock Noland" <[email protected]> wrote: > >> I think it should work to run the 1.4 JMS source in 1.3. >> >> Out of curiosity, which vendor isn't shipping 1.4? >> >> Brock >> >> >> On Thu, Mar 13, 2014 at 4:43 PM, Christopher Shannon < >> [email protected]> wrote: >> >>> I know that the JMS source is new in version 1.4, but has anyone tried >>> running this particular component on Flume 1.3.x?
