title: Flume does not store data to hbase
body: <p>While I'm able to store Flume data (from Kafka) in HDFS correctly, I have no luck getting them stored in HBase... The platform is Cloudera 5.10.1.</p>
  
  <p>My flume conf is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>tier1.sources  = source1
  tier1.channels = channel1
  #tier1.sinks = hdfs1
  tier1.sinks = hbase1
  
  tier1.sources.source1.type = org.apache.flume.source.kafka.KafkaSource
  tier1.sources.source1.zookeeperConnect = master3d.localdomain:2181
  tier1.sources.source1.topics.regex = application.data.*
  tier1.sources.source1.channels = channel1
  tier1.sources.source1.interceptors = i1
  tier1.sources.source1.interceptors.i1.type = timestamp
  tier1.sources.source1.kafka.consumer.timeout.ms = 100
  tier1.sources.source1.kafka.consumer.group.id = flume
  
  tier1.channels.channel1.type = memory
  tier1.channels.channel1.capacity = 10000
  tier1.channels.channel1.transactionCapacity = 1000
  
  tier1.sinks.hbase1.type = hbase
  tier1.sinks.hbase1.table = application_data
  tier1.sinks.hbase1.columnFamily = json
  tier1.sinks.hbase1.serializer = org.apache.flume.sink.hbase.SimpleHbaseEventSerializer
  tier1.sinks.hbase1.channel = channel1
  
  #tier1.sinks.hdfs1.type = hdfs
  #tier1.sinks.hdfs1.hdfs.path = /tmp/kafka/%{topic}/%y-%m-%d
  #tier1.sinks.hdfs1.hdfs.rollInterval = 5
  #tier1.sinks.hdfs1.hdfs.rollSize = 0
  #tier1.sinks.hdfs1.hdfs.rollCount = 0
  #tier1.sinks.hdfs1.hdfs.fileType = DataStream
  #tier1.sinks.hdfs1.channel = channel1
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have created the Hbase table in a following way:</p>
  
  <pre><code>hbase(main):005:0&gt; create 'application_data', 'json'
  0 row(s) in 1.2250 seconds
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But the scan command on this table returns always</p>
  
  <pre><code>hbase(main):021:0&gt; scan 'application_data'
  ROW                                                  COLUMN+CELL                                                                                                                                               
  0 row(s) in 0.0100 seconds
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have put Flume and Hbase Master in DEBUG, but I see no error nor warning. I can see Flume user gets a connection in Hbase and checking the existence of the table. There's no Kerberos auth on HBase. 
  Kafka topics do have data, because I have just double-checked  with console consumer and with the hdfs sink. </p>
  
  <p>I was just wondering if anybody can see an error here or point me in right direction. I think I'm not doing anything strange here.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you!</p>
