Kafka连接HDFS Sink连接器错误

Question

I'm using the 1.1 version of Kafka with Kafka connect and I'm facing an error that I don't understand. I'm not able to connect to HDFS if I set somethink like that:

hdfs.url": "/user/myuser/mydirectory" 

or like that (note that there's no port):

hdfs.url": "hdfs://hostname/user/myuser/mydirectory" 

I have this error :

state: "FAILED",
trace: "java.lang.NullPointerException

Is it normal? Did I miss something in the documentation? Could you help me please? I find no anwser and no solution to call my namenodes indifferently.

Answer 1

The solution is that "hadoop.conf.dir" was missing in my configuration.

I had to add it cause I'm working with HDFS in high availibility mode.
