the connection details will be set.

• Built-In: The connection details will be set
  locally for this component. You need to specify the values for
  all related connection properties manually.

• Repository: The connection details stored
  centrally in Repository > Metadata will be reused by this component. You need to
  click the […] button
  next to it and in the pop-up Repository Content dialog box, select the
  connection details to be reused, and all related connection

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.

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.

If the Snowflake data type to
be handled is VARIANT, OBJECT or ARRAY, while defining the schema in the
component, select String for the
corresponding data in the Type
column of the schema editor wizard.

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.

Note that if the input value of any non-nullable primitive
field is null, the row of data including that field will be rejected.

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.

Select the action to be carried out to the table.

• NONE: Leave
  the table as is.
• DROP_CREATE: Remove the table and create it again.
• CREATE:
  Create a new table.
• CREATE_IF_NOT_EXISTS: Create the table if it does
  not exist.
• DROP_IF_EXISTS_AND_CREATE: Remove the table if it
  already exists and create again.
• CLEAR:
  Remove all the data records in the table.
• TRUNCATE:
  Remove all the rows in the table. This action releases the space
  occupied by the table.

Select the operation you want to perform to the incoming
data and data records in the Snowflake database table. You can insert,
delete, update or merge data in the Snowflake table. This option assumes
that the Snowflake table specified in Table field already exists.

• INSERT:
  Insert new records in the Snowflake table.
• UPDATE:
  Update existing records in the Snowflake table.
• UPSERT:
  Create new records and update existing records. In the Upsert Key Column field displayed,
  you need to specify the key column to be used as the join key for
  the upsert operation.
• DELETE:
  Remove records from the Snowflake table.

• Add New Files:
  continues to process the Job even if the selected storage folder already
  contains files and adds new files to the folder.
• Cancel Upload:
  stops the operation when the storage folder used for loading data is not
  empty.
• Replace Existing
  Files: cleans the storage folder before adding new
  files.

With this option specified,
the incoming data may be stored in multiple files. Since data is stored
in files on a record base, the actual size of each file generated can be
larger or smaller than the specified value, but no more than the size of
the last record stored in the file.

This option can significantly
affect the performance. So set it carefully. See File Sizing Best Practices and
Limitations for related information.
