tFileInputDelimited MapReduce properties (deprecated) – Docs for ESB 7.x

tFileInputDelimited MapReduce properties (deprecated)

These properties are used to configure tFileInputDelimited running in the MapReduce Job framework.

The MapReduce
tFileInputDelimited component belongs to the MapReduce family.

The component in this framework is available in all subscription-based Talend products with Big Data
and Talend Data Fabric.

The MapReduce framework is deprecated from Talend 7.3 onwards. Use Talend Jobs for Apache Spark to accomplish your integration tasks.

Basic settings

Property type

Either Built-In or Repository.

 

Built-In: No property data stored centrally.

 

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

The properties are stored centrally under the Hadoop
Cluster
node of the Repository
tree.

For further information about the Hadoop
Cluster
node, see the Getting Started Guide.

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. When you create a Spark
Job, avoid the reserved word line when naming the
fields.

Click Edit
schema
to make changes to the schema.

Note: If you
make changes, the schema automatically becomes built-in.
 

Built-In: You create and store the schema locally for this component
only.

 

Repository: You have already created the schema and stored it in the
Repository. You can reuse it in various projects and Job designs.

Folder/File

Browse to, or enter the path pointing to the data to be used in the file system.

If the path you set points to a folder, this component will read all of the files stored in that folder, for example,/user/talend/in; if sub-folders exist, the sub-folders are automatically ignored unless you define the property mapreduce.input.fileinputformat.input.dir.recursive to be true in the Hadoop properties table in the Hadoop configuration tab.

If you want to specify more than one files or directories in this
field, separate each path using a comma (,).

If the file to be read is a compressed one, enter the file name with
its extension; then this component automatically decompresses it at
runtime. The supported compression formats and their corresponding
extensions are:

  • DEFLATE: *.deflate

  • gzip: *.gz

  • bzip2: *.bz2

  • LZO: *.lzo

Note that you need
to ensure you have properly configured the connection to the Hadoop
distribution to be used in the Hadoop
configuration
tab in the Run view.

Die on error

Clear the check box to skip any rows on error and complete the process for
error-free rows. When errors are skipped, you can collect the rows on error using a Row > Reject link.

Row separator

The separator used to identify the end of a row.

Field separator

Enter character, string or regular expression to separate fields for the transferred
data.

Header

Enter the number of rows to be skipped in the beginning of file.

CSV options

Select this check box to include CSV specific parameters such as Escape char and Text
enclosure
.

Skip empty rows

Select this check box to skip the empty rows.

Advanced settings

Custom Encoding

You may encounter encoding issues when you process the stored data. In that
situation, select this check box to display the Encoding list.

Then select the encoding to be used from the list or select Custom and define it manually.

Advanced separator (for number)

Select this check box to change the separator used for numbers. By default, the thousands separator is a comma (,) and the decimal separator is a period (.).

Trim all columns

Select this check box to remove the leading and trailing whitespaces from all
columns. When this check box is cleared, the Check column to
trim
table is displayed, which lets you select particular columns to
trim.

Check column to trim

This table is filled automatically with the schema being used. Select the check
box(es) corresponding to the column(s) to be trimmed.

Check each row structure against
schema

Select this check box to check whether the total number of columns
in each row is consistent with the schema. If not consistent, an
error message will be displayed on the console.

Check date

Select this check box to check the date format strictly against the input schema.

Decode String for long, int, short, byte
Types

Select this check box if any of your numeric types (long, integer, short, or byte type), will
be parsed from a hexadecimal or octal string.

Global Variables

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

Usage rule

In a
Talend
Map/Reduce Job, it is used as a start component and requires
a transformation component as output link. The other components used along with it must be
Map/Reduce components, too. They generate native Map/Reduce code that can be executed
directly in Hadoop.

Once a Map/Reduce Job is opened in the workspace, tFileInputDelimited as well as the MapReduce
family appears in the Palette of the
Studio.

Note that in this documentation, unless otherwise
explicitly stated, a scenario presents only Standard Jobs,
that is to say traditional
Talend
data integration Jobs, and non Map/Reduce Jobs.

Hadoop Connection

You need to use the Hadoop Configuration tab in the
Run view to define the connection to a given Hadoop
distribution for the whole Job.

This connection is effective on a per-Job basis.
