Select Import from existing version to import an officially supported distribution as base and then add other required jar files which the base distribution does not provide.
Select Import from zip to import the configuration zip for the custom distribution to be used. This zip file should contain the libraries of the different Hadoop elements and the index file of these libraries.
Note that custom versions are not officially supported by Talend . Talend and its community provide you with the opportunity to connect to custom versions from the Studio but cannot guarantee that the configuration of whichever version you choose will be easy, due to the wide range of different Hadoop distributions and versions that are available. As such, you should only attempt to set up such a connection if you have sufficient Hadoop experience to handle any issues on your own.
In this dialog box, the active check box must be kept selected so as to import the jar files pertinent to the connection to be created between the custom distribution and this component.
For a step-by-step example about how to connect to a custom distribution and share this connection, see Hortonworks.
If this cluster is a MapR cluster of the version 5.0.0 or later, you can set the MapR ticket authentication configuration in addition or as an alternative by following the explanation in Connecting to a security-enabled MapR.
Keep in mind that this configuration generates a new MapR security ticket for the username defined in the Job in each execution. If you need to reuse an existing ticket issued for the same username, leave both the Force MapR ticket authentication check box and the Use Kerberos authentication check box clear, and then MapR should be able to automatically find that ticket on the fly.
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.
And: every defined filtering conditions must be satisfied. It represents the relationship FilterList.Operator.MUST_PASS_ALL
Or: at least one of the defined filtering conditions must be satisfied. It represents the relationship: FilterList.Operator.MUST_PASS_ONE
Filter type: the drop-down list presents pre-existing filter types that are already defined by HBase. Select the type of the filter you need to use.
Filter column: enter the column qualifier on which you need to apply the active filter. This parameter becomes mandatory depending on the type of the filter and of the comparator you are using. For example, it is not used by the Row Filter type but is required by the Single Column Value Filter type.
Filter family: enter the column family on which you need to apply the active filter. This parameter becomes mandatory depending on the type of the filter and of the comparator you are using. For example, it is not used by the Row Filter type but is required by the Single Column Value Filter type.
Filter operation: select from the drop-down list the operation to be used for the active filter.
Filter Value: enter the value on which you want to use the operator selected from the Filter operation drop-down list.
Filter comparator type: select the type of the comparator to be combined with the filter you are using.
Ensure that you have installed the MapR client in the machine where the Studio is, and added the MapR client library to the PATH variable of that machine. According to MapR's documentation, the library or libraries of a MapR client corresponding to each OS version can be found under MAPR_INSTALL\ hadoop\hadoop-VERSION\lib\native. For example, the library for Windows is \lib\native\MapRClient.dll in the MapR client jar file. For further information, see the following link from MapR: http://www.mapr.com/blog/basic-notes-on-configuring-eclipse-as-a-hadoop-development-environment-for-mapr.
Without adding the specified library or libraries, you may encounter the following error: no MapRClient in java.library.path.
Set the -Djava.library.path argument, for example, in the Job Run VM arguments area of the Run/Debug view in the Preferences dialog box in the Window menu. This argument provides to the Studio the path to the native library of that MapR client. This allows the subscription-based users to make full use of the Data viewer to view locally in the Studio the data stored in MapR.
