Hadoop Files Source and Target Objects

You can specify a single complex file or multiple complex files as source and target objects.
Specify the complex file name in the source and target object if you want to perform the read or write operation to a single complex file. Specify a directory if you want to perform read or write operations to multiple files in a directory and its sub directories.
To specify a directory as a source object, configure File Path in the advanced source properties.
To specify a directory as a target object, configure File Directory in the advanced target properties.
