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 packageNameHDFS_FILE_PATH and HDFS_USER values to
represent your HDFS setup, as well as to be able to access the required files.

-
From the top-level menu, select >.
