Source Link Configurations of Loader Jobs

Overview

When Loader jobs obtain data from different data sources, a link corresponding to a data source type needs to be selected and the link properties need to be configured.

This section applies to versions earlier than MRS 3.x.

obs-connector

Table 1 Data source link properties of obs-connector

Parameter

Description

Bucket Name

OBS file system for storing source data.

Source Directory/File

Actual storage form of source data. It can be either all data files in a directory or a single data file contained in the file system.

File Format

Encoding Type

Text encoding type of source data. It takes effect on text files only.

File Split Type
The following types are supported:
  • File: The number of files is assigned to a map task by the total number of files. The calculation formula is Total number of files/Extractors.
  • Size: A file size is assigned to a map task by the total file size. The calculation formula is Total file size/Extractors.
