Issue while getting Twitter data in HDFS using Flume - hadoop

Question

I am trying to fetch the twitter data in HDFS but getting issue.
Here is my flume.conf file
TwitterAgent.sources= Twitter
TwitterAgent.channels= MemChannel
TwitterAgent.sinks=HDFS
TwitterAgent.sources.TwitterSource.type=org.apache.flume.source.twitter.TwitterSource
TwitterAgent.sources.Twitter.channels=MemChannel
TwitterAgent.sources.Twitter.consumerKey=xxxxxxxxxxx
TwitterAgent.sources.Twitter.consumerSecret= xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
TwitterAgent.sources.Twitter.accessToken=xxxxxxxxxx
TwitterAgent.sources.Twitter.accessTokenSecret=xxxxxxxxxxx
TwitterAgent.sources.Twitter.keywords= hadoop,election,sports, cricket,Big data
TwitterAgent.sinks.HDFS.channel=MemChannel
TwitterAgent.sinks.HDFS.type=hdfs
TwitterAgent.sinks.HDFS.hdfs.path=hdfs://localhost:9000/user/flume/tweets
TwitterAgent.sinks.HDFS.hdfs.fileType=DataStream
TwitterAgent.sinks.HDFS.hdfs.writeformat=Text
TwitterAgent.sinks.HDFS.hdfs.batchSize=1000
TwitterAgent.sinks.HDFS.hdfs.rollSize=0
TwitterAgent.sinks.HDFS.hdfs.rollCount=10000
TwitterAgent.sinks.HDFS.hdfs.rollInterval=600
TwitterAgent.channels.MemChannel.type=memory
TwitterAgent.channels.MemChannel.capacity=10000
TwitterAgent.channels.MemChannel.transactionCapacity=100
In Env.sh file, I have the path
#FLUME_CLASSPATH="/usr/lib/flume-sources-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar"
Now I am using the below command to get the data-
[cloudera#quickstart etc]$ flume-ng agent -n TwitterAgent -c conf -f /etc/flume-ng/conf/flume.conf
It showing some logs but I am getting the below error and it is getting stuck after HDFS sink started.
