tFileStreamInputFullRow properties for Apache Spark Streaming

Define a storage configuration component

Select the configuration component to be used to provide the configuration information for the connection to the target file system such as HDFS.

If you leave this check box clear, the target file system is the local system.

The configuration component to be used must be present in the same Job. For example, if you have dropped a tHDFSConfiguration component in the Job, you can select it to write the result in a given HDFS system.

Property type

Either Built-In or Repository.

Built-In: No property data stored centrally.

Repository: Select the repository file where the properties are stored.

The properties are stored centrally under the Hadoop Cluster node of the Repository tree.

For further information about the Hadoop Cluster node, see the Getting Started Guide.

The fields that come after are pre-filled in using the fetched data.

Schema and Edit Schema

A schema is a row description. It defines the number of fields (columns) to be processed and passed on to the next component. When you create a Spark Job, avoid the reserved word line when naming the fields.

The schema of this component is read-only. You can click Edit schema to view the schema.

Folder/File

Browse to, or enter the path pointing to the data to be used in the file system.

If you want to specify more than one files or directories in this field, separate each path using a comma (,).

If the file to be read is a compressed one, enter the file name with its extension; then tHDFSFullRow automatically decompresses it at runtime. The supported compression formats and their corresponding extensions are:

• DEFLATE: *.deflate

• gzip: *.gz

• bzip2: *.bz2

• LZO: *.lzo

The button for browsing does not work with the Spark Local mode; if you are using the other Spark Yarn modes that the Studio supports with your distribution, ensure that you have correctly configured the connection in a configuration component in the same Job, such as tHDFSConfiguration. Use the configuration component depending on the filesystem to be used.

Die on error

Select the check box to stop the execution of the Job when an error occurs.

Row separator

The separator used to identify the end of a row.

Header

Enter the number of rows to be skipped in the beginning of file.

Skip empty rows

Select this check box to skip the empty rows.

Custom Encoding

You may encounter encoding issues when you process the stored data. In that situation, select this check box to display the Encoding list.

Then select the encoding to be used from the list or select Custom and define it manually.

Usage rule

This component is used as a start component and requires an output link.

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

This connection is effective on a per-Job basis.
