Big Data

Feature

Description
Support for EMR 5.29 You can run Talend Jobs with the Amazon EMR distribution in version 5.29.
Upsert existing Delta Lake tables with new data When you configure how to save the dataset in tDeltaLakeOutput, select Merge to upsert an existing Delta Lake table with new data from a data flow or from another Delta Lake table. New fields are available to configure which columns to merge and how to perform this merge.
Check data consistency with EMR clusters When using tS3Configuration, enable the Use EMRFS consistent view option to use the EMR File System (EMRFS) consistent view. This option allows EMR clusters to check for list and read-after-write consistency for Amazon S3 objects that are written by or synced with EMRFS.
Spark catalog configuration in tHiveConfiguration You must indicate a Spark implementation with the Spark catalog property in the configuration of tHiveConfiguration. The value to select depends on whether the Hive metastore is external to your cluster or not. This configuration prevents errors at runtime. This property is available in Spark Batch Jobs only.
