Flume HDFS Sink Write error "no protocol: value"

When trying to run a flume job I am getting the error given below. I am running this on a cloudera setup.

The exact same files (morphline, avro schema etc., flume config) on a test environment. But in another environment it throws this error.

2019-07-15 14:24:17,669 WARN org.apache.flume.sink.hdfs.BucketWriter: Caught IOException writing to HDFSWriter (no protocol: value). Closing file (hdfs://8.8.8.8:8020/user/hive/warehouse/folder/folder/FlumeData.1563162656585.tmp) and rethrowing exception.

I was able to locate the relevant code on flume: https://github.com/apache/flume/blob/trunk/flume-ng-sinks/flume-hdfs-sink/src/main/java/org/apache/flume/sink/hdfs/BucketWriter.java (line:602)

// write the event
try {
  sinkCounter.incrementEventDrainAttemptCount();
  callWithTimeout(new CallRunner<Void>() {
    @Override
    public Void call() throws Exception {
      writer.append(event); // could block
      return null;
    }
  });
} catch (IOException e) {
  LOG.warn("Caught IOException writing to HDFSWriter ({}). Closing file (" +
      bucketPath + ") and rethrowing exception.",
      e.getMessage());
  close(true);
  throw e;
}

Error: Caught IOException writing to HDFSWriter (no protocol: value). Closing file

I am not able to workout what the error no protocol: value means.

I am unable to find any reference to this error in any context related to Flume and HDFS.

Incerceptor protocol was missing from the configuration -- Added "file:/" in the flume configuration file which that fixed the issue.
