Warning

This component will be available in the Palette of
Talend Studio on the condition that you have subscribed to one of
the Talend
solutions with Big Data.

tPigCode Properties

Component family

Big Data / Hadoop

  

Function

This component allows you to enter personalized Pig code to
integrate it in Talend program. You
can execute this code only once.

Purpose

tPigCode extends the
functionalities of a Talend Job through
using Pig scripts.

Basic settings

Schema and Edit
Schema

A schema is a row description. It defines the number of fields to be processed and passed on
to the next component. The schema is either Built-In or
stored remotely in the Repository.

Since version 5.6, both the Built-In mode and the Repository mode are
available in any of the Talend solutions.

Click Edit schema to make changes to the schema. If the
current schema is of the Repository type, three options are
available:

  • 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.
 

 

Built-In: You create and store the schema locally for this
component only. Related topic: see Talend Studio
User Guide.
   

Repository: You have already created the schema and
stored it in the Repository. You can reuse it in various projects and Job designs. Related
topic: see Talend Studio User Guide.
 

Scripts

Type in Pig scripts you want to execute depending on the task you
need to perform. For further information about Pig functions syntax,
see Apache’s documentation about Pig UDF:

http://pig.apache.org

Pig components output tuples and automatically set up an alias for
each tuple. When you use a tuple in your Pig script, you have to
enter the right alias.

The alias syntax is Component_ID_rowID_Result, for
example, tPigCode_1_row2_Result.

Advanced settings

tStatCatcher Statistics

Select this check box to gather the Job processing metadata at the
Job level as well as at each component level.

 

Enable escape

Select this check box so that you can simply write plain Pig code
in the Scripts field without need
to bear in mind the escape characters, otherwise required for proper
Java code generation.

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

This component is commonly used as intermediate step together with
input component and output component.

A tPigCode component can execute
only one Pig Latin statement, therefore, if you need to execute
multiple statements, you have to use a corresponding number of
tPigCode components to run
them, one after another.

If a particular .jar file is required to execute a statement, you
need to register that library file via the tPigLoad component that starts the Pig process in
question.

Prerequisites

The Hadoop distribution must be properly installed, so as to guarantee the interaction
with Talend Studio. The following list presents MapR related information for
example.

  • 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
    hadoophadoop-VERSIONlib
    ative    . For example, the library for
    Windows is lib
    ativeMapRClient.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. 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. For further information about how to
    set this argument, see the section describing how to view data of Talend Big Data Getting Started Guide.

For further information about how to install a Hadoop distribution, see the manuals
corresponding to the Hadoop distribution you are using.

Log4j

The activity of this component can be logged using the log4j feature. For more information on this feature, see Talend Studio User
Guide.

For more information on the log4j logging levels, see the Apache documentation at http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/apidocs/org/apache/log4j/Level.html.

Limitation

Knowledge of Pig scripts is required.

 

Scenario: Selecting a column of data from an input file and store it into a local
file

This scenario describes a three-component Job that selects a column of data that
matches filter condition defined in tPigCode and stores
the result into a local file.

Setting up the Job

  1. Drop the following components from the Palette to the design workspace: tPigCode, tPigLoad,
    tPigStoreResult.

  2. Right-click tPigLoad to connect it to
    tPigCode using a Row > Pig Combine connection.

  3. Right-click tPigCode to connect it to
    tPigStoreResult using a Row > Pig Combine connection.

Loading the data

  1. Double-click tPigLoad to open its
    Basic settings view.

    use_case_tpigcode2.png

  2. Click the three-dot button next to Edit
    schema     to add columns for tPigLoad.

    use_case_tpigcode3.png

  3. Click the plus button to add Name,
    Country and Age and click
    OK to save the setting.

  4. Select Local from the Mode area.

  5. Fill in the Input filename field with the
    full path to the input file.

    In this scenario, the input file is CustomerList
    which contains rows of names, country names and age.

  6. Select PigStorage from the Load function list.

  7. Leave rest of the settings as they are.

Configuring the tPigCode component

  1. Double-click tPigCode component to open
    its Basic settings view.

    use_case_tpigcode4.png

  2. Click Sync columns to retrieve the schema
    structure from the preceding component.

  3. Fill in the Script Code field with
    following expression:

    This
    filter expression selects column Name from
    CustomerList.

Saving the result data to a local file

  1. Double-click tPigStoreResult to open its
    Basic settings view.

    use_case_tpigcode5.png

  2. Click Sync columns to retrieve the schema
    structure from the preceding component.

  3. Fill in the Result file field with the
    full path to the result file.

    In this scenario, the result is saved in Result
    file.

  4. Select Remove result directory if
    exists    .

  5. Select PigStorage from the Store function list.

  6. Leave rest of the settings as they are.

Executing the Job

Save your Job and press F6 to run it.
