# tReservoirSampling properties for Apache Spark Batch These properties are used to configure tReservoirSampling running in the Spark Batch Job framework. The Spark Batch tReservoirSampling component belongs to the Data Quality family. The component in this framework is available in all Talend Platform products with Big Data and in Talend Data Fabric. ## 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 Sync columns to retrieve the schema from
the previous component in the Job. | | --- | --- | | | 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. | | Sample Size | Set how many rows to sample from the input flow. | ## Advanced settings | Seed for random generator | Set a random number if you want to extract the same sample in different executions
of the Job.

Repeating the execution with a different value for the seed will result in a
different data samples being extracted.

Keep this field empty if you want to extract a different data sample each time you
execute the Job. | | --- | --- | ## Usage | **Usage rule** | This component is used as an intermediate 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 | In the Spark
Configuration tab in the Run
view, define the connection to a given Spark cluster for the whole Job. In
addition, since the Job expects its dependent jar files for execution, you must
specify the directory in the file system to which these jar files are
transferred so that Spark can access these files:

Yarn mode (Yarn client or Yarn cluster):
- When using Google Dataproc, specify a bucket in the Google Storage staging bucket field in the Spark configuration tab.
- When using HDInsight, specify the blob to be used for Job deployment in the Windows Azure Storage configuration area in the Spark configuration tab.
- When using Altus, specify the S3 bucket or the Azure Data Lake Storage for Job deployment in the Spark configuration tab.
- When using Qubole, add a tS3Configuration to your Job to write your actual business data in the S3 system with Qubole. Without tS3Configuration, this business data is written in the Qubole HDFS system and destroyed once you shut down your cluster.
- When using on-premises distributions, use the configuration component corresponding to the file system your cluster is using. Typically, this system is HDFS and so use tHDFSConfiguration.
Standalone mode: use the configuration component corresponding to the file system your cluster is using, such as tHDFSConfiguration Apache Spark Batch or tS3Configuration Apache Spark Batch.

If you are using Databricks without any configuration component present in your Job, your business data is written directly in DBFS (Databricks Filesystem).

This connection is effective on a per-Job basis. |
