Custom Sink Stream

Compile code to write the data processed by DLI to a specified cloud ecosystem or open-source ecosystem.

Syntax

CREATE SINK STREAM stream_id (attr_name attr_type (',' attr_name attr_type)* )
  WITH (
    type = "user_defined",
    type_class_name = "",
    type_class_parameter = ""
  );

Keyword

**Table 1** Keyword description
Parameter	Mandatory	Description
type	Yes	Data source type. The value user_defined indicates that the data source is a user-defined data source.
type_class_name	Yes	Name of the sink class for obtaining source data. The value must contain the complete package path.
type_class_parameter	Yes	Input parameter of the user-defined sink class. Only one parameter of the string type is supported.

Precautions

The user-defined sink class needs to inherit the RichSinkFunction class and specify the data type as Row. For example, define MySink class: public class MySink extends RichSinkFunction<Row>{}. It aims to implement the open, invoke, and close functions.

Example

Writing data encoded in CSV format to a DIS stream is used as an example.

CREATE SINK STREAM user_out_data (
	count INT
)
  WITH (  
	type = "user_defined", 
	type_class_name = "mySourceSink.MySink", 
	type_class_parameter = ""
      );
