但是在启动Flume时，报以下错误：
2019-10-16 11:35:14,559 (conf-file-poller-0) [ERROR - org.apache.flume.node.PollingPropertiesFileConfigurationProvider$FileWatcherRunnable.run(PollingPropertiesFileConfigurationProvider.java:142)] Failed to load configuration data. Exception follows.

解决方案：
由于用到了agent的sink是 org.apache.spark.streaming.flume.sink.SparkSink类型，需要把spark-streaming-flume-sink_2.11-2.4.3.jar复制到flume的lib目录，否则，会报找不到org.apache.spark.streaming.flume.sink.SparkSink类的错误。
