# Hadoop (HDFS) Connector - XML and Maven Support

> For the full documentation index, see: https://docs.mulesoft.com/llms.txt

If you manually code a Mule app in XML, either from the Anypoint Studio XML editor or from a text
editor, configure access to the connector in your app by adding reference namespace statements to
your XML Mule flow and a dependency in the Apache Maven POM file.

> [!NOTE] You can avoid this manual process by using Anypoint Studio. When you add the connector in
> Studio, Studio automatically populates the XML code with the connector’s namespace and schema
> location, and adds a dependency to the `pom.xml` file.

## Add a Reference Namespace Statement for the Connector

Paste the following code inside the `mule` tag of the header of your configuration XML:

```xml
http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/hdfs
http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/hdfs/current/mule-hdfs.xsd
```

This example shows how the namespace statements are placed in the XML:

```xml
<mule xmlns:hdfs="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/hdfs"
	xmlns="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/core"
	xmlns:doc="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/documentation"
	xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
	xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/core
	http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/core/current/mule.xsd
	http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/hdfs
	http://www.mulesoft.org/schema/mule/hdfs/current/mule-hdfs.xsd">
```

## Add a POM File Dependency

The Apache Maven `pom.xml` file generated by Anypoint Studio contains Mule app connector
dependencies. When you code a Mule app manually, include this XML snippet in your POM file to enable
access to this connector:

```xml
<dependency>
	<groupId>org.mule.connectors</groupId>
    <artifactId>mule-hdfs-connector</artifactId>
    <version>6.0.3</version>
    <classifier>mule-plugin</classifier>
</dependency>
```

Verify that the connector `version` corresponds to the one you are using.

To obtain the most up-to-date `pom.xml` file information:

1.  Go to [Anypoint Exchange](https://www.mulesoft.com/exchange/).

2.  In Exchange, click **Login** and supply your Anypoint Platform username and password.

3.  In Exchange, search for `hdfs`.

4.  Click **Dependency Snippets**.
