Property type

Either Built-In or Repository.

Built-In: No property data stored centrally.

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

Host

Enter the IP address of the database server.

Database

Enter the name of the database to be used.

Username and
Password

Enter the database 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.

Additional JDBC parameters

Specify additional connection properties for the database connection you are
creating.

For example, you can enter CHARSET=KANJISJIS_OS to get support of Japanese characters.

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 with no need to be connected to other components.

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

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