Component list

If there is more than one connection used in the Job, select
tImpalaConnection from the
list.

tStatCatcher Statistics

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

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 rule

This component is to be used along with the other Impala components,
especially with tImpalaConnection as
tImpalaConnection allows you to
open a connection for the transaction which is underway.

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.

Once a dynamic parameter is defined, the Component List box in the Basic
settings view becomes unusable.

For examples on using dynamic parameters, see Reading data from databases through context-based dynamic connections and 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.
