Learn how you can build data flows with the help of templates in Cloudera Flow
Management (CFM).
When you have created or imported templates, you can use these
as building blocks in various data flows, just as you use any data flow component.
To use a template in a data flow:
-
Click and drag the Template icon from the
Component toolbar to the canvas.
The Add
template window containing a list of all available templates is
displayed.
-
Choose the template that you would like to add to the canvas and click
Add.
There are some important points to remember when working with templates:
-
Sensitive properties (for example, a password configured in a processor)
is not added to the template. These sensitive properties have to be populated each
time that the template is used.
-
If a component that is included in the template references a controller
service, the controller service is also added to the template. This means that each
time that the template is used in a data flow, it creates a copy of the controller
service.
