HDFS Flat File Targets

HDFS flat file targets are valid in mappings that run in a Hadoop environment.
When you use a HDFS flat file target in a mapping, you must specify the full path that includes the output file directory and file name. The Data Integration Service might generate multiple output files in the output directory when you run the mapping in a Hadoop environment.
