Properties:

In the list below, the names of required properties appear in bold. Any other properties (not in bold) are considered optional. The table also indicates any default values, whether a property supports the NiFi Expression Language, and whether a property is considered "sensitive", meaning that its value will be encrypted. Before entering a value in a sensitive property, ensure that the nifi.properties file has an entry for the property nifi.sensitive.props.key.

NameDefault ValueValid ValuesDescription
Hadoop Configuration ResourcesA 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.
DirectoryThe parent HDFS directory to which files should be written
Supports Expression Language: true
Conflict Resolution Strategyfail
  • replace
  • ignore
  • fail
Indicates what should happen when a file with the same name already exists in the output directory
Block SizeSize of each block as written to HDFS. This overrides the Hadoop Configuration
IO Buffer SizeAmount of memory to use to buffer file contents during IO. This overrides the Hadoop Configuration
ReplicationNumber of times that HDFS will replicate each file. This overrides the Hadoop Configuration
Permissions umaskA umask represented as an octal number which determines the permissions of files written to HDFS. This overrides the Hadoop Configuration dfs.umaskmode
Remote OwnerChanges the owner of the HDFS file to this value after it is written. This only works if NiFi is running as a user that has HDFS super user privilege to change owner
Remote GroupChanges the group of the HDFS file to this value after it is written. This only works if NiFi is running as a user that has HDFS super user privilege to change group
