# tUnite properties for Apache Spark Batch These properties are used to configure tUnite running in the Spark Batch Job framework. The Spark Batch tUnite component belongs to the Orchestration family. The component in this framework is available in all subscription-based Talend products with Big Data and Talend Data Fabric. ## Basic settings | Schema and Edit
Schema | A schema is a row description, it defines the number of fields to be
processed and passed on to the next component. The schema is either
Built-in or stored remotely in the
Repository.

Click Edit
schema to make changes to the schema. If the current schema is of the Repository type, three options are available:

View schema: choose this option to view the schema only.
Change to built-in property: choose this option to change the schema to Built-in for local changes.
Update repository connection: choose this option to change the schema stored in the repository and decide whether to propagate the changes to all the Jobs upon completion. If you just want to propagate the changes to the current Job, you can select No upon completion and choose this schema metadata again in the Repository Content window.

Click Sync columns to retrieve the
schema from the previous component in the Job. | | --- | --- | | | Built-In: You create and store the schema locally for this component
only. | | | Repository: You have already created the schema and stored it in the
Repository. You can reuse it in various projects and Job designs. | ## Usage | **Usage rule** | This component is used as an intermediate step.

This component, along with the Spark Batch component Palette it belongs to,
appears only when you are creating a Spark Batch Job.

Note that in this documentation, unless otherwise explicitly stated, a
scenario presents only Standard Jobs, that is to
say traditional
Talend
data integration Jobs. | | --- | --- | | Spark Connection | In the Spark
Configuration tab in the Run
view, define the connection to a given Spark cluster for the whole Job. In
addition, since the Job expects its dependent jar files for execution, you must
specify the directory in the file system to which these jar files are
transferred so that Spark can access these files:

Yarn mode (Yarn client or Yarn cluster):
- When using Google Dataproc, specify a bucket in the Google Storage staging bucket field in the Spark configuration tab.
- When using HDInsight, specify the blob to be used for Job deployment in the Windows Azure Storage configuration area in the Spark configuration tab.
- When using Altus, specify the S3 bucket or the Azure Data Lake Storage for Job deployment in the Spark configuration tab.
- When using Qubole, add a tS3Configuration to your Job to write your actual business data in the S3 system with Qubole. Without tS3Configuration, this business data is written in the Qubole HDFS system and destroyed once you shut down your cluster.
- When using on-premise distributions, use the configuration component corresponding to the file system your cluster is using. Typically, this system is HDFS and so use https://help.talend.com/r/en-US/7.2/hdfs/thdfsconfiguration.
Standalone mode: use the configuration component corresponding to the file system your cluster is using, such as tHDFSConfiguration or tS3Configuration.

If you are using Databricks without any configuration component present in your Job, your business data is written directly in DBFS (Databricks Filesystem).

This connection is effective on a per-Job basis. |
