Security

The HDFS sink, HBase sink, Thrift source, Thrift sink and Kite Dataset sink all supportKerberos authentication. Please refer to the corresponding sections forconfiguring the Kerberos-related options.

Flume agent will authenticate to the kerberos KDC as a single principal, which will beused by different components that require kerberos authentication. The principal andkeytab configured for Thrift source, Thrift sink, HDFS sink, HBase sink and DataSet sinkshould be the same, otherwise the component will fail to start.
