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.

• For the fields of numeric type (for example, byte, short,
  int, long, float, double, and BigDecimal), their length and
  precision values need to be specified. The default length
  and precision values are 10 and 2,
  and you can also specify their custom values in the schema
  editor.

• For the fields of date type, you need to specify the
  format of the date in the schema editor. For more
  information about the supported date format, see Analytics Cloud External Data Format
  Reference.

The Schema list and the Editor schema button disappear if the
Custom JSON Metadata check box
is selected.

This
component offers the advantage of the dynamic schema feature. This allows you to
retrieve unknown columns from source files or to copy batches of columns from a source
without mapping each column individually. For further information about dynamic schemas,
see
Talend Studio

User Guide.

This
dynamic schema feature is designed for the purpose of retrieving unknown columns of a
table and is recommended to be used for this purpose only; it is not recommended for the
use of creating tables.

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.

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.

Click Sync
columns to retrieve the schema from the previous component connected in the
Job.
