Compiling Flume requires the following tools:
-* Oracle Java JDK 1.7
+* Oracle Java JDK 1.8
* Apache Maven 3.x
Note: The Apache Flume build requires more memory than the default configuration.
We recommend you set the following Maven options:
-export MAVEN_OPTS="-Xms512m -Xmx1024m -XX:PermSize=256m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m"
+`export MAVEN_OPTS="-Xms512m -Xmx1024m"`
To compile Flume and build a distribution tarball, run `mvn install` from the
top level directory. The artifacts will be placed under `flume-ng-dist/target/`.
