Hey Mayur, If you are collecting logs from multiple servers then you can use flume for the same.
if the contents of the logs are different in format then you can just use textfileinput format to read and write into any other format you want for your processing in later part of your projects first thing you need to learn is how to setup hadoop then you can try writing sample hadoop mapreduce jobs to read from text file and then process them and write the results into another file then you can integrate flume as your log collection mechanism once you get hold on the system then you can decide more on which paths you want to follow based on your requirements for storage, compute time, compute capacity, compression etc On Wed, Feb 6, 2013 at 3:01 AM, Mayur Patil <[email protected]>wrote: > Hello, > > I am new to Hadoop.
