tHiveCreateTable

Creates Hive tables that fit a wide range of Hive data
formats.

A proper Hive data format such as RC or ORC allows
you to obtain a better performance in processing data with
Hive.

tHiveCreateTable connects to the Hive database to be used
and creates a Hive table that is dedicated to data of the format you specify.

tHiveCreateTable Standard properties

These properties are used to configure tHiveCreateTable running in the Standard Job framework.

The Standard
tHiveCreateTable component belongs to the Big Data and the Databases families.

The component in this framework is available when you are using one of the Talend solutions with Big Data.

Basic settings

Connection configuration:

  • When you use this component with Google Dataproc:

    Project identifier

    Enter the ID of your Google Cloud Platform project.

    If you are not certain about your project ID, check it in the Manage
    Resources page of your Google Cloud Platform services.

    Cluster identifier

    Enter the ID of your Dataproc cluster to be used.
    Region

    Enter the geographic zones in which the computing resources are used and your
    data is stored and processed. If you do not need to specify a particular
    region, leave the default value global.

    For further information about the available regions and the zones each region
    groups, see Regions and Zones.
    Google Storage staging bucket

    As a Talend Job expects its
    dependent jar files for execution, specify the Google Storage directory to
    which these jar files are transferred so that your Job can access these
    files at execution.

    The directory to be entered must end with a slash (/). If not existing, the
    directory is created on the fly but the bucket to be used must already
    exist.

    Database

    Fill this field with the name of the database.

    Provide Google Credentials in file

    Leave this check box clear, when you
    launch your Job from a given machine in which Google Cloud SDK has been
    installed and authorized to use your user account credentials to access
    Google Cloud Platform. In this situation, this machine is often your
    local machine.

    When you launch your Job from a remote
    machine, such as a Jobserver, select this check box and in the
    Path to Google Credentials file field that is
    displayed, enter the directory in which this JSON file is stored in the
    Jobserver machine.

    For further information about this Google
    Credentials file, see the administrator of your Google Cloud Platform or
    visit Google Cloud Platform Auth
    Guide    .

  • When you use this component with HDInsight:

    WebHCat configuration

    Enter the address and the authentication information of the WebHCat service
    of the Microsoft HD Insight cluster to be used. The Studio uses this service to
    submit the Job to the HD Insight cluster.

    In the Job result folder field, enter
    the location in which you want to store the execution result of a Job in the Azure
    Storage to be used.

    HDInsight
    configuration

    Enter the authentication information of the HD Insight cluster to be
    used.

    Windows Azure Storage
    configuration

    Enter the address and the authentication information of the Azure Storage
    account to be used.

    In the Container field, enter the name
    of the container to be used.

    In the Deployment Blob field, enter the
    location in which you want to store the current Job and its dependent libraries in
    this Azure Storage account.

    Database

    Fill this field with the name of the database.

  • When you use the other distributions:

    Connection mode

    Select a connection mode from the list. The
    options vary depending on the distribution you are
    using.

    Hive server

    Select the Hive server through which you want the Job using this component to
    execute queries on Hive.

    This Hive server list is available only
    when the Hadoop distribution to be used such as HortonWorks Data
    Platform V1.2.0 (Bimota)     supports HiveServer2. It allows you to select
    HiveServer2 (Hive 2), the server that better support
    concurrent connections of multiple clients than HiveServer (Hive
    1    ).

    For further information about HiveServer2, see https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/Setting+Up+HiveServer2.

    Host

    Database server IP address.

    Port

    Listening port number of DB server.

    Database

    Fill this field with the name of the
    database.

    Note:

    This field is not available when you
    select Embedded
    from the Connection
    mode     list.

    Username and
    Password

    DB 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.

    Use kerberos authentication

    If you are accessing a Hive Metastore running with Kerberos security,
    select this check box and then enter the relevant parameters in the fields that
    appear.

    • If this cluster is a MapR cluster of the version 4.0.1 or later, you can set the MapR
      ticket authentication configuration in addition or as an alternative by following the
      explanation in Connecting to a security-enabled MapR.

      Keep in mind that this configuration generates a new MapR security ticket for the username
      defined in the Job in each execution. If you need to reuse an existing ticket issued for the
      same username, leave both the Force MapR ticket
      authentication       check box and the Use Kerberos
      authentication       check box clear, and then MapR should be able to automatically
      find that ticket on the fly.

    The values of the following parameters can be found in the hive-site.xml file of the Hive system to be used.

    1. Hive principal uses the value
      of hive.metastore.kerberos.principal. This is
      the service principal of the Hive Metastore.

    2. HiveServer2 local user
      principal       uses the value of hive.server2.authentication.kerberos.principal.

    3. HiveServer2 local user keytab
      uses the value of hive.server2.authentication.kerberos.keytab

    4. Metastore URL uses the value of
      javax.jdo.option.ConnectionURL. This is the
      JDBC connection string to the Hive Metastore.

    5. Driver class uses the value of
      javax.jdo.option.ConnectionDriverName. This
      is the name of the driver for the JDBC connection.

    6. Username uses the value of javax.jdo.option.ConnectionUserName. This, as
      well as the Password parameter, is the user credential for connecting to
      the Hive Metastore.

    7. Password uses the value of javax.jdo.option.ConnectionPassword.

    For the other parameters that are displayed, please consult the Hadoop
    configuration files they belong to. For example, the Namenode
    principal     can be found in the hdfs-site.xml file
    or the hdfs-default.xml file of the distribution you are
    using.

    This check box is available depending on the Hadoop distribution you are
    connecting to.
    Use a keytab to authenticate

    Select the Use a keytab to authenticate
    check box to log into a Kerberos-enabled system using a given keytab file. A keytab
    file contains pairs of Kerberos principals and encrypted keys. You need to enter the
    principal to be used in the Principal field and
    the access path to the keytab file itself in the Keytab field. This keytab file must be stored in the machine in
    which your Job actually runs, for example, on a Talend Jobserver.

    Note that the user that executes a keytab-enabled Job is not necessarily
    the one a principal designates but must have the right to read the keytab file being
    used. For example, the user name you are using to execute a Job is user1 and the principal to be used is guest; in this
    situation, ensure that user1 has the right to read the keytab
    file to be used.

    Use SSL encryption

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

    Then in the fields that are displayed, provide the authentication
    information:

    • In the Trust store
      path       field, enter the path, or browse to the TrustStore
      file to be used. By default, the supported TrustStore types are JKS and PKCS 12.

    • 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.

    This feature is available only to the HiveServer2 in the Standalone mode of the following distributions:

    • Hortonworks Data Platform 2.0 +

    • Cloudera CDH4 +

    • Pivotal HD 2.0 +

    • Amazon EMR 4.0.0 +

    Set Resource Manager

    Select this check box and in the displayed field, enter the location of the
    ResourceManager of your distribution. For example, tal-qa114.talend.lan:8050.

    Then you can continue to set the following parameters depending on the
    configuration of the Hadoop cluster to be used (if you leave the check box of a
    parameter clear, then at runtime, the configuration about this parameter in the
    Hadoop cluster to be used will be ignored ):

    1. Select the Set resourcemanager
      scheduler address       check box and enter the Scheduler address in
      the field that appears.

    2. Select the Set jobhistory
      address       check box and enter the location of the JobHistory
      server of the Hadoop cluster to be used. This allows the metrics information of
      the current Job to be stored in that JobHistory server.

    3. Select the Set staging
      directory       check box and enter this directory defined in your
      Hadoop cluster for temporary files created by running programs. Typically, this
      directory can be found under the yarn.app.mapreduce.am.staging-dir property in the configuration files
      such as yarn-site.xml or mapred-site.xml of your distribution.

    4. Allocate proper memory volumes to the Map and the Reduce
      computations and the ApplicationMaster
      of YARN by selecting the Set memory
      check box in the Advanced settings
      view.

    5. Select the Set Hadoop
      user       check box and enter the user name under which you
      want to execute the Job. Since a file or a directory in Hadoop has its
      specific owner with appropriate read or write rights, this field allows
      you to execute the Job directly under the user name that has the
      appropriate rights to access the file or directory to be processed.

    6. Select the Use datanode
      hostname       check box to allow the Job to access datanodes via
      their hostnames. This actually sets the dfs.client.use.datanode.hostname property to true. When connecting to a S3N filesystem, you must select this check
      box.

    For further information about these parameters, see the documentation or
    contact the administrator of the Hadoop cluster to be used.

    For further information about the Hadoop Map/Reduce framework, see the
    Map/Reduce tutorial in Apache’s Hadoop documentation on http://hadoop.apache.org.

    Set NameNode URI

    Select this check box and in the displayed field, enter the URI of the Hadoop
    NameNode, the master node of a Hadoop system. For example, assuming that you have
    chosen a machine called masternode as the NameNode, then the
    location is hdfs://masternode:portnumber. If you are using WebHDFS, the location should be
    webhdfs://masternode:portnumber; if this WebHDFS is secured
    with SSL, the scheme should be swebhdfs and you need to use
    a tLibraryLoad in the Job to load the library required by
    the secured WebHDFS.

    For further information about the Hadoop Map/Reduce framework, see the
    Map/Reduce tutorial in Apache’s Hadoop documentation on http://hadoop.apache.org.

The other properties:

Property type

Either Built-in or Repository.

 

Built-in: No property data stored
centrally.

 

Repository: Select the repository
file in which the properties are stored. The fields that follow are
completed automatically using the data retrieved.

Use an existing connection

Select this check box and in the Component
List click the relevant connection component to reuse the connection
details you already defined.

Note:

When a Job contains the parent Job and the child Job, if you need to share an
existing connection between the two levels, for example, to share the connection created by
the parent Job with the child Job, you have to:

  1. In the parent level, register the database connection to be shared
    in the Basic settings view of the
    connection component which creates that very database connection.

  2. In the child level, use a dedicated connection component to read
    that registered database connection.

For an example about how to share a database connection across Job levels, see


Talend Studio
 User Guide.

Distribution

Select the cluster you are using from the drop-down list. The options in the
list vary depending on the component you are using. Among these options, the following
ones requires specific configuration:

  • If available in this Distribution drop-down list, the Microsoft HD Insight option allows you to
    use a Microsoft HD Insight cluster. For this purpose, you need to configure
    the connections to the WebHCat service, the HD Insight service and the
    Windows Azure Storage service of that cluster in the areas that are
    displayed. A demonstration video about how to configure this connection is
    available in the following link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3QTT6VsNoM.

  • If you select Amazon
    EMR    , you can find more details about how
    to configure an Amazon EMR cluster in Talend Help Center (https://help.talend.com)    .

  • The Custom option
    allows you to connect to a cluster different from any of the distributions
    given in this list, that is to say, to connect to a cluster not officially
    supported by
    Talend
    .

  1. Select Import from existing
    version     to import an officially supported distribution as base
    and then add other required jar files which the base distribution does not
    provide.

  2. Select Import from zip to
    import the configuration zip for the custom distribution to be used. This zip
    file should contain the libraries of the different Hadoop elements and the index
    file of these libraries.

    In
    Talend

    Exchange, members of
    Talend
     community have shared some ready-for-use configuration zip files
    which you can download from this Hadoop configuration
    list and directly use them in your connection accordingly. However, because of
    the ongoing evolution of the different Hadoop-related projects, you might not be
    able to find the configuration zip corresponding to your distribution from this
    list; then it is recommended to use the Import from
    existing version     option to take an existing distribution as base
    to add the jars required by your distribution.

    Note that custom versions are not officially supported by

    Talend
    .
    Talend
     and its community provide you with the opportunity to connect to
    custom versions from the Studio but cannot guarantee that the configuration of
    whichever version you choose will be easy, due to the wide range of different
    Hadoop distributions and versions that are available. As such, you should only
    attempt to set up such a connection if you have sufficient Hadoop experience to
    handle any issues on your own.

    Note:

    In this dialog box, the active check box must be kept
    selected so as to import the jar files pertinent to the connection to be
    created between the custom distribution and this component.

    For a step-by-step example about how to connect to a custom
    distribution and share this connection, see Connecting to a custom Hadoop distribution.

Hive version

Select the version of the Hadoop distribution you are using. The available
options vary depending on the component you are using. Along with the evolution of
Hadoop, please note the following changes:

  • If you use Hortonworks Data
    Platform V2.2    , the configuration files of your cluster might
    be using environment variables such as ${hdp.version}. If this is your situation, you need to set the mapreduce.application.framework.path property in
    the Hadoop properties table of this
    component with the path value explicitly pointing to the MapReduce framework
    archive of your cluster. For
    example:

  • If you use Hortonworks Data
    Platform V2.0.0    , the type of the operating system for
    running the distribution and a
    Talend
     Job must be the same, such as Windows or Linux. Otherwise, you
    have to use
    Talend
     Jobserver to execute the Job in the same type of operating
    system in which the Hortonworks Data Platform
    V2.0.0     distribution you are using is run.

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. The schema is either Built-In or stored remotely in the Repository.

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.

When the schema to be reused has default values that are integers or
functions, ensure that these default values are not enclosed within quotation marks. If
they are, you must remove the quotation marks manually.

You can find more details about how to verify default
values in retrieved schema in Talend Help Center (https://help.talend.com).

Table Name

Name of the table to be created.

Action on table

Select the action to be carried out for creating a table.

Format

Select the data format to which the table to be created is
dedicated.

The available data formats vary depending on the version of the
Hadoop distribution you are using.

Note that when the file format to be used is PARQUET, you
might be prompted to find the specific Parquet jar file and install it into the Studio.

  • When the connection mode to Hive is Embedded,
    the Job is run in your local machine and calls this jar installed in the
    Studio.

  • When the connection mode to Hive is Standalone, the Job is run in the server hosting Hive and this
    jar file is sent to the HDFS system of the cluster you are connecting to.
    Therefore, ensure that you have properly defined the NameNode URI in the
    corresponding field of the Basic settings
    view.

This jar file can be downloaded from Apache’s site. You can find more details about how to install external modules in Talend Help Center (https://help.talend.com).

Inputformat class and Outputformat class

These fields appear only when you have selected INPUTFORMAT and OUTPUTFORMAT from the
Format list.

These fields allow you to enter the name of the jar files to be
used for the data formats not available in the Format list.

Storage class

Enter the name of the storage handler to be used for creating a
non-native table (Hive table stored and managed in other systems
than Hive, for example, Cassandra or MongoDB).

This field is available only when you have selected STORAGE from the Format list.

For further information about a storage handler, see https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/StorageHandlers.
Set partitions

Select this check box to add partition columns to the table to be
created. Once selecting it, you need to define the schema of the
partition columns you need to add.

Set file location

If you want to create a Hive table in a directory other than the
default one, select this check box and enter the directory in HDFS
you want to use to hold the table content.

This is typical useful when you need to create an external Hive
table by selecting the Create an external
table check box in the Advanced
settings tab.

Use S3 endpoint

The Use S3 endpoint check box is
displayed when you have selected the Set file
location check box to create an external Hive table.

Once this Use S3 endpoint check box is
selected, you need to enter the following parameters in the fields that appear:

  • S3 bucket: enter the name of
    the bucket in which you need to create the table.

  • Access key and Secret key: enter the authentication
    information required to connect to the Amazon S3 bucket to be used.

    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.

Note that the format of the S3 file is S3N (S3 Native Filesystem).

Since a Hive table created in S3 is actually an external table,
this Use S3 endpoint check box must
be used with the Create an external
table case being selected.

Advanced settings

Like table

Select this check box and enter the name of the Hive table you
want to copy. This allows you to copy the definition of an existing
table without copying its data.

For further information about the Like parameter, see Apache’s
information about Hive’s Data Definition Language.

Create an external table

Select this check box to make the table to be created an external
Hive table. This kind of Hive table leaves the raw data where it is
if the data is in HDFS.

An external table is usually the better choice for accessing
shared data existing in a file system.

For further information about an external Hive table, see Apache’s
documentation about Hive.

Table comment

Enter the description you want to use for the table to be
created.

As select

Select this check box and enter the As select
statement for creating a Hive table that is based on a
Select statement.

Set clustered_by or skewed_by
statement

Enter the Clustered by statement to cluster the data
of a table or a partition into buckets, or/and enter the
Skewed by statement to allow Hive to extract the
heavily skewed data and put it into separate files. This is
typically used for obtaining better performance during
queries.

SerDe properties

If you are using the SerDe row format, you can add any custom
SerDe properties to override the default ones used by the Hadoop
engine of the Studio.

Table properties

Add any custom Hive table properties you want to override the
default ones used by the Hadoop engine of the Studio.

Temporary path

If you do not want to set the Jobtracker and the NameNode when you execute the
query select * from your_table_name, you need to set this
temporary path. For example, /C:/select_all in Windows.

Hadoop properties


Talend Studio
 uses a default configuration for its engine to perform
operations in a Hadoop distribution. If you need to use a custom configuration in a specific
situation, complete this table with the property or properties to be customized. Then at
runtime, the customized property or properties will override those default ones.

  • Note that if you are using the centrally stored metadata from the Repository, this table automatically inherits the
    properties defined in that metadata and becomes uneditable unless you change the
    Property type from Repository to Built-in.

For further information about the properties required by Hadoop and its related systems such
as HDFS and Hive, see the documentation of the Hadoop distribution you
are using or see Apache’s Hadoop documentation on http://hadoop.apache.org/docs and then select the version of the documentation you want. For demonstration purposes, the links to some properties are listed below:

Hive properties

Talend Studio uses a default configuration for its engine to perform
operations in a Hive database. If you need to use a custom configuration in a
specific situation, complete this table with the property or properties to be
customized. Then at runtime, the customized property or properties will override
those default ones. For further information for Hive dedicated properties, see https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/AdminManual+Configuration.

  • If you need to use Tez to run your Hive Job, add
    hive.execution.engine to the
    Properties column and Tez to the
    Value column, enclosing both of these strings in
    double quotation marks.

  • Note that if you are using the centrally stored metadata
    from the Repository, this
    table automatically inherits the properties defined in that metadata and
    becomes uneditable unless you change the Property type from Repository to Built-in.

Mapred job map memory mb and
Mapred job reduce memory
mb

If the Hadoop distribution to be used is Hortonworks Data Platform V1.2 or Hortonworks
Data Platform V1.3, you need to set proper memory allocations for the map and reduce
computations to be performed by the Hadoop system.

In that situation, you need to enter the values you need in the Mapred
job map memory mb and the Mapred job reduce memory
mb fields, respectively. By default, the values are both 1000 which are normally appropriate for running the
computations.

If the distribution is YARN, then the memory parameters to be set become Map (in Mb), Reduce (in Mb) and
ApplicationMaster (in Mb), accordingly. These fields
allow you to dynamically allocate memory to the map and the reduce computations and the
ApplicationMaster of YARN.

Path separator in server

Leave the default value of the Path separator in
server as it is, unless you have changed the separator used by your
Hadoop distribution’s host machine for its PATH variable or in other words, that
separator is not a colon (:). In that situation, you must change this value to the
one you are using in that host.

tStatCatcher Statistics

Select this check box to collect log data at the component
level.

Global Variables

Global Variables

QUERY: the query statement being processed. This is a Flow
variable and it returns a string.

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

This component works standalone.

If the Studio used to connect to a Hive database is operated on Windows, you
must manually create a folder called tmp in the root of the disk
where this Studio is installed.

Row format

Set Delimited row format

 

Set SerDe row format

 

Die on error

Dynamic settings

Click the [+] button to add a
row in the table and fill the Code field
with a context variable to choose your database connection dynamically from
multiple connections planned in your Job. This feature is useful when you
need to access database tables having the same data structure but in
different databases, especially when you are working in an environment where
you cannot change your Job settings, for example, when your Job has to be
deployed and executed independent of
Talend Studio
.

The Dynamic settings table is
available only when the Use an existing
connection check box is selected in the Basic settings view. Once a dynamic parameter is
defined, the Component List box in the
Basic settings view becomes unusable.

For examples on using dynamic parameters, see Scenario: Reading data from databases through context-based dynamic connections and Scenario: Reading data from different MySQL databases using dynamically loaded connection parameters. For more information on Dynamic
settings and context variables, see
Talend Studio User Guide.

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 in the Window menu. 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 install a Hadoop distribution, see the manuals
corresponding to the Hadoop distribution you are using.
