tRestWebServiceOutput properties for Apache Spark Streaming

These properties are used to configure tRestWebServiceOutput running in the Spark Streaming Job framework.

The Spark Streaming tRestWebServiceOutput component belongs to the Webservice family.

The streaming version of this component is available in Talend Real Time Big Data Platform 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.

The schema of this component is read-only. You can click Edit schema to view the schema.

This read-only payload column is used to carry the body of the request to be processed. Note that you must define a same payload column in the schema of the preceding component to send data to this read-only column.

URL

Enter the URL address of the REST Web server to be invoked.

HTTP Method

From this list, select an HTTP method that describes the desired action. The specific meanings of the HTTP methods are subject to definitions of your Web service provider. Listed below are the generally accepted HTTP methods:

  • PUT: updates data based on the given parameters, or if the data does not exist, creates it.

  • POST: creates and uploads data based on the given parameters.

  • DELETE: removes data based on the given parameters.

HTTP Headers

Enter the name-value pair(s) for HTTP headers to define the parameters of the requested HTTP operation.

For the specific definitions of HTTP headers, consult your REST Web service provider. For reference information, visit en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_headers.

Advanced settings

Use SSL/TLS

Select this check box to enable the SSL or TLS encrypted connection.

Then you need to use the tSetKeystore component in the same Job to specify the encryption information.

Usage

Usage rule

This component is used as an end component and requires an input link.

This component, along with the Spark Streaming component Palette it belongs to, appears only when you are creating a Spark Streaming 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.
