Unstructured data as in regular files? If data is stored on a normal filesystem somewhere, then you don't need any fancy components. You can upload it using built-in HDFS tools (hadoop fs etc.). You can write some shell scripts to automate this...

If for some reason your data is stored as blobs in a database, you can use Sqoop.
