Accepted Values
Required: false

Maximum Number of Entries

Description: The maximum number of entries in the output data file. In the context of this property, entry can mean one of two things. If record processing is enabled (Output File Data Format is set to Avro or JSON), an entry is a record. Otherwise, entry means a Kafka message. Set this property to 1 if you want to create a separate output file for each Kafka message.

Accepted Values
Required: false

Output Filename Pattern

Description

Specifies the structure of the name of the output file. The pattern can contain string literal (fixed text) parts and one or more of the following expressions:

${filename.uuid}: Inserts a generated UUID in the filename.
${filename.timestamp}: Inserts the current timestamp in the filename.
${filename.sequence}: Inserts an incrementing sequence value in the filename.

In order to generate unique filenames, either ${filename.uuid} or ${filename.sequence} must be used in the pattern.

Examples:

data_${filename.uuid}.json
records_${filename.timestamp}_${filename.sequence}.avro

Default Value

${filename.uuid}

Accepted Values

Required

false

Output Filename Sequence Initial Value

Description: This property is used to configure the initial value of the ${filename.sequence} expression. The value you set in this property is not the initial value of the sequence. The sequence starts at the value of this property +1. For example, if you set this property to 0, the sequence starts at 1.
Default Value: 0
Accepted Values
Required: false

Output Filename Sequence Padding Length

Description: Specifies the length of the ${filename.sequence} expression in characters. If the sequence has fewer characters than the value set in this property, it is padded with zeros (0). Padding is added to the left of the sequence.

Schema Access Strategy

Description: Specifies the strategy used for determining the schema of the Kafka record. The value you set here depends on the data format set in Kafka Message Data Format. If set to Schema Registry, the schema is read from Schema Registry. This setting can be used with both Avro and JSON formats. If set to Infer Schema, the schema is inferred based on the input file. This setting can only be used if Kafka Message Data Format is JSON. If set to Embedded Schema, the schema embedded in the input is used.
