I am trying to output to webhdfs

my output config is:

output {  
webhdfs {  
path =\> 'filepath'  
single\_file\_per\_thread =\> true  
host =\> 'hostname'  
port =\> '50070'  
codec =\> 'json'  
}  
}

I am getting error;  
Plugin not defined in namespace, checking for plugin file

When I do ./bin/plugin list I can see my plugin listed in list.

I am not sure what's wrong with config..
