Target Property | Description |
|---|---|
Connection | Name of the target connection or create a connection parameter. |
Target Type | Type of target object. Select Single Object or Parameter. |
Object | Select the file to which you want to write data. Though selecting a target object is mandatory, the agent ignores this object. The agent processes the target object specified in File Directory and File Name in advanced target properties. You can select an existing object or create an object at runtime. |
Create New at Runtime | Creates a complex file target object at runtime. Enter a name for the target object and map the source fields that you want to use. By default, all source fields are mapped. You can use parameters defined in a parameter file in the target name. |
Format | File format of the target object. You can select from the following file format types:
Default is None. If you select None as the format type, the Secure Agent writes data in binary format. In advanced mode, None is not applicable. Note: You can only use Avro, Parquet, and JSON file format types in Hadoop Files V2 Connector. You cannot write data to ORC file format types even though they are listed in the Formatting Options. |
Parameter | The parameter for the target object. Create or select the parameter for the target object. Note: The parameter property appears if you select parameter as the target type. |
Operation | Select the target operation. You can use only the insert operation. |
Advanced Property | Description |
|---|---|
File Directory | Optional. The directory location of one or more output files. Maximum length is 255 characters. If you do not specify a directory location, the output files are created at the location specified in the connection. If the directory is in HDFS, enter the path without the node URI. For example, /user/lib/testdir specifies the location of a directory in HDFS. The path must not contain more than 512 characters. If the file or directory is in the local system, enter the fully qualified path. For example, /user/testdir specifies the location of a directory in the local system. |
File Name | Optional. Renames the output file. The file name is not applicable when you read or write multiple Hadoop Files V2s. |
Overwrite Target | Indicates whether the Secure Agent must first delete the target data before writing data. If you select the Overwrite Target option, the Secure Agent deletes the target data before writing data. If you do not select this option, the Secure Agent creates a new file in the target and writes the data to the file. |
File Format | Specifies a file format of a complex file source. Select one of the following options:
Default is Binary. |
Output Format | The class name for files of the output format. If you select Output Format in the File Format field, you must specify the fully qualified class name implementing the OutputFormat interface. |
Output Key Class | The class name for the output key. If you select Output Format in the File Format field, you must specify the fully qualified class name for the output key. You can specify one of the following output key classes:
Note: Hadoop Files V2 generates the key in ascending order. |
Output Value Class | The class name for the output value. If you select Output Format in the File Format field, you must specify the fully qualified class name for the output value. You can use any custom writable class that Hadoop supports. Determine the output value class based on the type of data that you want to write. Note: When you use custom output formats, the value part of the data that is streamed to the complex file data object write operation must be in a serialized form. |
Compression Format | Compression format of the source files. Select one of the following options:
|
Custom Compression Codec | Required if you use custom compression format. Specify the fully qualified class name implementing the CompressionCodec interface. |
Sequence File Compression Type | Optional. The compression format for sequence files. Select one of the following options:
|
streamRolloverSize | The maximum size a file can reach before it is segmented into a new file. The rollover size manages large data streams by breaking them into smaller, more manageable parts. |
streamRollovertime | The time interval after which a new file is created to write the data, regardless of the file size. This time interval helps to manage files by time and ensures data segmentation over fixed time periods. |
Forward Rejected Rows | Determines whether the transformation passes rejected rows to the next transformation or drops rejected rows. By default, the mapping task forwards rejected rows to the next transformation. |
