在Apache Flume 1.5中放置自定义罐子的位置？

Question

I need to create a custom source in flume for which i have provided the fully qualified class name in the conf file.But I am unable to figure out as to where I need to place the jar file. After reading several posts ,I created a "plugins.d" folder within the Flume directory and placed my jar there.Still during start up ,it is unable to load the jar. Should I modify the flume-env.sh ?

Answer 1

In flume-env.sh add this:

FLUME_CLASSPATH="/path/to/your/jar:/path/to/another/jar"

Answer 2

From the Flume documentation :

The plugins.d directory is located at $FLUME_HOME/plugins.d
