tExtractDelimitedFields MapReduce properties (deprecated)

Availability-noteDeprecated

These properties are used to configure tExtractDelimitedFields running in the MapReduce Job framework.

The MapReduce tExtractDelimitedFields component belongs to the Processing family.

The component in this framework is available in all Talend products with Big Data and Talend Data Fabric.

Availability-noteDeprecated
The MapReduce framework is deprecated from Talend 7.3 onwards. Use Talend Jobs for Apache Spark to accomplish your integration tasks.

Basic settings

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.
Information noteNote: If you make changes, the schema automatically becomes built-in.
 

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.

Prev.Comp.Column list

Select the column you need to extract data from.

Die on error

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

Field separator

Enter a character, a string, or a regular expression to separate fields for the transferred data.

CSV options

Select this check box to include CSV specific parameters such as Escape char and Text enclosure.
Information noteImportant: With Spark version 2.0 and onward, special characters must be escaped, that is "\\" and "\"" instead of "\" and """.

Advanced settings

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.

Advanced separator (for number)

Select this check box to change the separator used for numbers. By default, the thousands separator is a comma (,) and the decimal separator is a period (.).

Trim all columns

Select this check box to remove the leading and trailing whitespaces from all columns. When this check box is cleared, the Check column to trim table is displayed, which lets you select particular columns to trim.

Check column to trim

This table is filled automatically with the schema being used. Select the check box(es) corresponding to the column(s) to be trimmed.

Check each row structure against schema

Select this check box to check whether the total number of columns in each row is consistent with the schema. If not consistent, an error message will be displayed on the console.

Check date

Select this check box to check the date format strictly against the input schema.

Decode String for long, int, short, byte Types

Select this check box if any of your numeric types (long, integer, short, or byte type), will be parsed from a hexadecimal or octal string.

Global Variables

Global Variables

ERROR_MESSAGE: the error message generated by the component when an error occurs. This is an After variable and it returns a string. This variable functions only if the Die on error check box is cleared, if the component has this check box.

A Flow variable functions during the execution of a component while an After variable functions after the execution of the component.

To fill up a field or expression with a variable, press Ctrl + Space to access the variable list and choose the variable to use from it.

For further information about variables, see Talend Studio User Guide.

Usage

Usage rule

In a Talend Map/Reduce Job, this component is used as an intermediate step and other components used along with it must be Map/Reduce components, too. They generate native Map/Reduce code that can be executed directly in Hadoop.

Once a Map/Reduce Job is opened in the workspace, tExtractDelimitedFields as well as the MapReduce family appears in the Palette of the Studio.

Note that in this documentation, unless otherwise explicitly stated, a scenario presents only Standard Jobs, that is to say traditional Talend data integration Jobs, and non Map/Reduce Jobs.

Hadoop Connection

You need to use the Hadoop Configuration tab in the Run view to define the connection to a given Hadoop distribution for the whole Job.

This connection is effective on a per-Job basis.
