EDIT

We configure a flume agent that reads the data from that file and pass it to Solr sink but unfortunately this exception in the title is throw.

and here is the stack trace

Answer

We have the following string which is a valid JSON …

Clearly the JSON parser disagrees!

However, the exception says that the error is at “line 1: column 9”, and there is no “http” token near the beginning of the JSON. So I suspect that the parser is trying to parse something different than this string when the error occurs.

You need to find what JSON is actually being parsed. Run the application within a debugger, set a breakpoint on the relevant constructor for JsonParseException … then find out what is in the ByteArrayInputStream that it is attempting to parse.
