Destination Link Configurations of Loader Jobs

When Loader jobs save data to different storage locations, a destination link needs to be selected and the link properties need to be configured.

**Table 1** Destination link properties of **obs-connector**
Parameter	Description
Bucket Name	OBS file system for storing final data.
Output Directory	Directory for storing final data in the file system. A directory must be specified.

Line Separator	Identifier of each line end of final data
Field Separator	Identifier of each field end of final data
Encoding Type	Text encoding type of final data. It takes effect on text files only.

**Table 2** Destination link properties of **generic-jdbc-connector**
Parameter	Description
Schema Name	Name of the database storing final data
Table	Name of the table saving final data

**Table 3** Destination link properties of **ftp-connector** or **sftp-connector**
Parameter	Description
Output Directory	Directory for storing final data in the file server. A directory must be specified.
File Format	Loader supports the following file formats of data stored in the file server: CSV_FILE: Specifies a text file. When the destination link is a database link, only the text file is supported. BINARY_FILE: Specifies binary files excluding text files.
Line Separator	Identifier of each line end of final data NOTE: If FTP or SFTP serves as a destination link and File Format is set to BINARY_FILE, the value of Line Separator in the advanced properties is invalid.
Field Separator	Identifier of each field end of final data NOTE: If FTP or SFTP serves as a destination link and File Format is set to BINARY_FILE, the value of Field Separator in the advanced properties is invalid.
Encoding Type	Text encoding type of final data. It takes effect on text files only.

**Table 4** Destination link properties of **hbase-connector**
Parameter	Description
Table Name	Name of the HBase table saving final data. You can query and select it on the interface.
Method	Data can be imported to an HBase table using either BULKLOAD or PUTLIST.
Clear Data Before Import	Whether to clear data in the destination HBase table. Options are as follows: True: Clean up data in the table. False: Do not clean up data in the table. If you select False, an error is reported during job running if data exists in the table.

**Table 5** Destination link properties of **hdfs-connector**
Parameter	Description
Output Directory	Directory for storing final data in HDFS. A directory must be specified.
File Format	Loader supports the following file formats of data stored in HDFS: CSV_FILE: Specifies a text file. When the destination link is a database link, only the text file is supported. BINARY_FILE: Specifies binary files excluding text files.
Compression Codec	Compression mode used when a file is saved to HDFS. The following modes are supported: NONE, DEFLATE, GZIP, BZIP2, LZ4, and SNAPPY.
