Note: The Export to SBDF (HD) operator is for Hadoop data only. For database data, use the Export to SBDF (DB) operator.

Input

A single HDFS tabular data set. Avro and Parquet inputs are not supported.

Bad or Missing Values: Null and empty values in the inputs are converted to blank cells in the SBDF file.

Restrictions

By default, the custom operator can export only up to 10GB of data. You can modify this limit in the alpine.conf file by setting the following configuration.

Note: Raising this limit might overload the memory already reserved for Team Studio.

custom_operator.sbdf_export.max_mb_input_size_alpine_server=10240

Configuration

Parameter	Description
Notes	Any notes or helpful information about this operator's parameter settings. When you enter content in the Notes field, a yellow asterisk is displayed on the operator.
File Output Name *required	Specify the name of the SBDF file stored in the Team Studio workspace. Note that the .sbdf file extension should be omitted, because it is automatically appended to the file name.
Overwrite if Exists *required	Select true or false. If the SBDF file already exists, and if this option is set to true, the file is overwritten. A new version of the SBDF file is created in the workspace, and previous versions are still accessible through the work file version-control button. false: If a work file of the same name already exists, the operator fails with an output error message that notifies the user of the existing work file.
