Configuring Flume Solr Sink

Edit /etc/flume-ng/conf/flume.conf to specify the Flume Source details and set up the flow. You must set the relative or absolute path to the morphline configuration file:
```
agent.sinks.solrSink.morphlineFile = /etc/flume-ng/conf/morphline.conf
```
Edit /etc/flume-ng/conf/morphline.conf to specify the Solr location details.
1. Specify the collection configuration parameter to identify the name of the Solr Collection to use: collection : collection3
2. Point the zkHost configuration parameter to the address of the SolrCloud ZooKeeper ensemble of the Solr collection. The format is the same as for MapReduceIndexerTool --zk-host. Substitute the corresponding host name for 127.0.0.1, if necessary:
```
zkHost : "127.0.0.1:2181/solr"
```

Copy flume-env.sh.template to flume-env.sh:

$ sudo cp /etc/flume-ng/conf/flume-env.sh.template \
/etc/flume-ng/conf/flume-env.sh

Edit /etc/flume-ng/conf/flume-env.sh, inserting or replacing JAVA_OPTS as follows:
```
JAVA_OPTS="-Xmx500m"
```

(Optional) Modify Flume's logging settings to facilitate monitoring and debugging:

$ sudo bash -c 'echo "log4j.logger.org.apache.flume.sink.solr=DEBUG" >> \
/etc/flume-ng/conf/log4j.properties'
$ sudo bash -c 'echo "log4j.logger.org.kitesdk.morphline=TRACE" >> \
/etc/flume-ng/conf/log4j.properties'

(Optional) You can configure the location at which Flume finds Cloudera Search dependencies for Flume Solr Sink using SEARCH_HOME. For example, if you installed Flume from a tarball package, you can configure it to find required files by setting SEARCH_HOME. To set SEARCH_HOME use a command of the form:
```
$ export SEARCH_HOME=/usr/lib/search
```
Note: Alternatively, you can add the same setting to flume-env.sh.
