Add Directory Tags
| For incremental load tasks, select this check box to add the "dt=" prefix to the names of apply cycle directories to be compatible with the naming convention for Hive partitioning. This check box is cleared by default.
|
Bucket
| Specifies the name of an existing bucket container that stores, organizes, and controls access to the data objects that you load to Google Cloud Storage.
|
Data Directory
| For initial load tasks, define a directory structure for the directories where
Mass Ingestion Applications stores output data files and optionally stores the schema. In this value, you can include the following types of entries to define directory patterns:
Examples:
This value is not case sensitive.
The default format is {TableName)_{Timestamp}.
For Amazon S3 and Microsoft Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 targets,
Mass Ingestion Applications uses the directory specified in the target connection properties as the root for the data directory path. For Google Cloud Storage targets,
Mass Ingestion Applications uses the
Bucket name that you specify in the target properties for the ingestion task.
|
Schema Directory
| For initial load and incremental load tasks, you can specify a custom directory in which to store the schema file if you want to store it in a directory other than the default directory. For initial loads, previously used values if available are shown in a drop-down list for your convenience. This field is optional.
For initial loads, the schema is stored in the data directory by default. For incremental loads, the default directory for the schema file is
{TaskTargetDirectory}/cdc-data/{TableName}/schema
You can use the same placeholders as for the
Data Directory field. Ensure that you enclose placeholders with curly brackets { }.
If you include the toUpper or toLower function, put the placeholder name in parentheses and enclose the both the function and placeholder in curly brackets, for example:
{toLower(SchemaName)}
Schema is written only to output data files in CSV format. Data files in Parquet and Avro formats contain their own embedded schema.
