Broker URL

Enter the location of the MQTT broker to be used to route the messages to be published to
MQTT.

Topic

Enter the name of the topic you want tMQTTOutput to
publish messages to.

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.

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

This read-only payload column is used by tMQTTOutput to write the body of a MQTT message. Note that you must
define a same payload column in the schema of the
preceding component to send data to this read-only column.

The other columns are added as header to the message to be outputted.

QoS

Enter, without quotation marks around, the numeric level of QoS (Quality of Service) to be
assigned to the message to be used.

For further explanation about the different levels of QoS, see http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSFKSJ_8.0.0/com.ibm.mq.dev.doc/q029090_.htm.

Encoding

Select the encoding from the list or select Custom and define it manually.

This encoding is used by tMQTTOutput to encode the
message to be outputted.

Connection pool

In this area, you configure, for each Spark executor, the connection pool used to control
the number of connections that stay open simultaneously. The default values given to the
following connection pool parameters are good enough for most use cases.

• Max total number of connections: enter the maximum number
  of connections (idle or active) that are allowed to stay open simultaneously.

  The default number is 8. If you enter -1, you allow unlimited number of open connections at the same
  time.

• Max waiting time (ms): enter the maximum amount of time
  at the end of which the response to a demand for using a connection should be returned by
  the connection pool. By default, it is -1, that is to say, infinite.

• Min number of idle connections: enter the minimum number
  of idle connections (connections not used) maintained in the connection pool.

• Max number of idle connections: enter the maximum number
  of idle connections (connections not used) maintained in the connection pool.

Evict connections

Select this check box to define criteria to destroy connections in the connection pool. The
following fields are displayed once you have selected it.

• Time between two eviction runs: enter the time interval
  (in milliseconds) at the end of which the component checks the status of the connections and
  destroys the idle ones.

• Min idle time for a connection to be eligible to
  eviction: enter the time interval (in milliseconds) at the end of which the idle
  connections are destroyed.

• Soft min idle time for a connection to be eligible to
  eviction: this parameter works the same way as Min idle
  time for a connection to be eligible to eviction but it keeps the minimum number
  of idle connections, the number you define in the Min number of idle
  connections field.

Usage rule

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

This connection is effective on a per-Job basis.

Limitation

Due to license incompatibility, one or more JARs required to use this component are not
provided. You can install the missing JARs for this particular component by clicking the
Install button on the Component tab view. You can also find out and add all missing JARs easily on the
Modules tab in the
Integration
perspective of your
studio. You can find more details about how to install external modules in Talend Help Center (https://help.talend.com).
