tMapRDBLookupInput – Docs for ESB 6.x

tMapRDBLookupInput

Provides lookup data to the main flow of a streaming Job.

tMapRDBLookupInput
extracts columns corresponding to schema definition. Then it passes the extracted data
to the next component.

tMapRDBLookupInput properties for Apache Spark Streaming

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

The Spark Streaming
tMapRDBLookupInput component belongs to the Databases family.

The component in this framework is available only if you have
subscribed to Talend Real-Time Big Data Platform or Talend Data Fabric .

Basic settings

Storage configuration

Select the tMapRDBConfiguration component from which the
Spark system to be used reads the configuration information to connect to MapRDB.

Property type

Either Built-In or Repository.

Built-In: No property data stored centrally.

Repository: Select the repository file where the
properties are stored.

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.

Table name

Type in the name of the table from which you need to extract columns.

Table Namespace mappings

Enter the string to be used to construct the mapping between an Apache HBase table and a
MapR table.

For the valid syntax you can use, see http://doc.mapr.com/display/MapR40x/Mapping+Table+Namespace+Between+Apache+HBase+Tables+and+MapR+Tables.

Define a row selection

Select this check box and then in the Start row and the
End row fields, enter the corresponding row keys to
specify the range of the rows you want the current component to extract.

Different from the filters you can set using Is by
filter
requiring the loading of all records before filtering the ones to be
used, this feature allows you to directly select only the rows to be used.

Mapping

Complete this table to map the columns of the table to be used with the schema columns you
have defined for the data flow to be processed.

Is by filter

Select this check box to use filters to perform fine-grained data selection from your
database, such as selection of keys, or values, based on regular expressions.

Once selecting it, the Filter table that is used to
define filtering conditions becomes available.

This feature leverages filters provided by HBase and subject to constraints explained in
Apache HBase documentation. Therefore, advanced knowledge of HBase is required to make full
use of these filters.

Logical operation
Select the operator you need to use to define the logical relation between filters. This
available operators are:

  • And: every defined filtering conditions must
    be satisfied. It represents the relationship
    FilterList.Operator.MUST_PASS_ALL

  • Or: at least one of the defined filtering
    conditions must be satisfied. It represents the relationship:
    FilterList.Operator.MUST_PASS_ONE

Filter
Click the button under this table to add as many rows as required, each row representing a
filter. The parameters you may need to set for a filter are:

  • Filter type: the drop-down list presents
    pre-existing filter types that are already defined by HBase. Select the type of
    the filter you need to use.

  • Filter column: enter the column qualifier on
    which you need to apply the active filter. This parameter becomes mandatory
    depending on the type of the filter and of the comparator you are using. For
    example, it is not used by the Row Filter type
    but is required by the Single Column Value
    Filter
    type.

  • Filter family: enter the column family on
    which you need to apply the active filter. This parameter becomes mandatory
    depending on the type of the filter and of the comparator you are using. For
    example, it is not used by the Row Filter type
    but is required by the Single Column Value
    Filter
    type.

  • Filter operation: select from the drop-down
    list the operation to be used for the active filter.

  • Filter Value: enter the value on which you
    want to use the operator selected from the Filter
    operation
    drop-down list.

  • Filter comparator type: select the type of
    the comparator to be combined with the filter you are using.

Depending on the Filter type you are using,
some or each of the parameters become mandatory. For further information, see HBase filters

Usage

Usage rule

This component is used as a start component and requires an output link..

This component uses a tMapRDBConfiguration component present in the same Job to connect to
MapR-DB.

However, if you need to use tMapRDBLookupInput with Kerberos
keytab, configure keytab in the Spark configuration tab
instead of in a tMapRDBConfiguration component.

You must drop tMapRDBConfiguration along with the
MapRDB-related Subjob to be run in the same Job so that the configuration is used by the
whole Job at runtime.

Spark Connection

You need to use the Spark Configuration tab in
the Run view to 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: when using Google
    Dataproc, specify a bucket in the Google Storage staging
    bucket
    field in the Spark
    configuration
    tab; when using other distributions, use a
    tHDFSConfiguration
    component to specify the directory.

  • Standalone mode: you need to choose
    the configuration component depending on the file system you are using, such
    as tHDFSConfiguration
    or tS3Configuration.

This connection is effective on a per-Job basis.
