tMysqlConfiguration properties for Apache Spark Batch

Property type

Either Built-In or Repository.

Built-In: No property data stored centrally.

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

DB version

Select the version of the database to be used.

When the database to be used is RDS Aurora, you need to select Mysql 5.

Host

Enter the IP address of the database server.

Port

Enter the listening port number of the database server.

Database

Enter the name of the database to be used.

Additional JDBC parameters

Specify additional connection properties for the database connection you are creating.

Username and Password

Enter the database user authentication data.

To enter the password, click the [...] button next to the password field, and then in the pop-up dialog box enter the password between double quotes and click OK to save the settings.

Connection pool

In this area, you configure, for each Spark executor, the connection pool used to control the number of connections that stay open simultaneously. The default values given to the following connection pool parameters are good enough for most use cases.

• Max total number of connections: enter the maximum number of connections (idle or active) that are allowed to stay open simultaneously.

  The default number is 8. If you enter -1, you allow unlimited number of open connections at the same time.

• Max waiting time (ms): enter the maximum amount of time at the end of which the response to a demand for using a connection should be returned by the connection pool. By default, it is -1, that is to say, infinite.

• Min number of idle connections: enter the minimum number of idle connections (connections not used) maintained in the connection pool.

• Max number of idle connections: enter the maximum number of idle connections (connections not used) maintained in the connection pool.

Evict connections

Select this check box to define criteria to destroy connections in the connection pool. The following fields are displayed once you have selected it.

• Time between two eviction runs: enter the time interval (in milliseconds) at the end of which the component checks the status of the connections and destroys the idle ones.

• Min idle time for a connection to be eligible to eviction: enter the time interval (in milliseconds) at the end of which the idle connections are destroyed.

• Soft min idle time for a connection to be eligible to eviction: this parameter works the same way as Min idle time for a connection to be eligible to eviction but it keeps the minimum number of idle connections, the number you define in the Min number of idle connections field.

Usage rule

This component is used with no need to be connected to other components.

The configuration in a tMysqlConfiguration component applies only on the MySQL related components in the same Job. In other words, the MySQL components used in a child or a parent Job that is called via tRunJob cannot reuse this configuration.

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.
