Launch Aspire (if it's not already running). See:
For this step please follow the step from the Configuration Tutorial of the connector of you choice, please refer to Connector list
To add a Publish to CDH-HDFS drag from the Publish to CDH-HDFS rule from the Workflow Library and drop to the Workflow Tree where you want to add it. This will automatically open the Publish to CDH-HDFS window for the configuration of the publisher.
Not all HDFS clusters have WebHDFS enabled.
In the HDFS section of the Publish to CDH HDFS window specify the connection information to publish to HDFS.
Once you've clicked on the Add button, it will take a moment for Aspire to download all of the necessary components (the Jar files) from the Maven repository and load them into Aspire. Once that's done, the publisher will appear in the Workflow Tree.
For details on using the Workflow section, please refer to the Workflow introduction.
