HDFS Connector (KNOX)

This node connects to Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) using an Apache KNOX gateway. The resulting output port allows downstream nodes to access the files of the remote file system, e.g. to read or write, or to perform other file system operations (browse/list files, copy, move, ...).

Path syntax: Paths for HDFS are specified with a UNIX-like syntax, for example /myfolder/file.csv , which is an absolute path that consists of:

1. A leading slash ( / ).
2. The name of a folder ( myfolder ), followed by a slash.
3. Followed by the name of a file ( file.csv ).

SSL: This node uses the JVM SSL settings.
