Using connectors with templates

Some of the connectors have default templates in Streaming SQL Console that allows you to create tables with them easily. These predefined templates not only contain the CREATE TABLE statement, but every mandatory and optional argument that is needed for the table.

  1. Navigate to the Streaming SQL Console.
    1. Go to your cluster in Cloudera Manager.
    2. Select SQL Stream Builder from the list of services.
    3. Click SQLStreamBuilder Console.
      The Streaming SQL Console opens in a new window.
  2. Open a project from the Projects page of Streaming SQL Console.
    1. Select an already existing project from the list by clicking the Open button or Switch button.
    2. Create a new project by clicking the New Project button.
    3. Import a project by clicking the Import button.
    You are redirected to the Explorer view of the project.
  3. Click next to Jobs from the Explorer.
  4. Select New Job > Create.
    The SQL Editor for the created job opens in a tab.
  5. Click Templates.
  6. Select one of the connector templates.
    The corresponding CREATE TABLE statement is imported to the SQL Editor.
After importing the template to the SQL Editor, you need to provide the mandatory properties and you can also fill out the optional arguments if needed. When you click Execute, the table of the chosen connector is created and listed under Virtual Tables.
