tLogRow properties for Apache Spark Batch

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.

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.

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.

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.

Displays each row of the output flow as a key-value list.

With this mode selected, you can choose to show either the unique name or the label of component, or both of them, for each output row.

Separator

(For Basic mode only)

Enter the separator which will delimit data on the Log display.

Print header

(For Basic mode only)

Print component unique name in front of each output row

(For Basic mode only)

Select this check box to show the unique name the component in front of each output row to differentiate outputs in case several tLogRow components are used.

Print schema column name in front of each value

(For Basic mode only)

Select this check box to retrieve column labels from output schema.

Use fixed length for values

(For Basic mode only)

Select this check box to set a fixed width for the value display.

Usage rule

This component is used as an intermediate or an end 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

This connection is effective on a per-Job basis.
