Provide Google Credentials in file	Leave this check box clear, when you launch your Job from a given machine in which Google Cloud SDK has been installed and authorized to use your user account credentials to access Google Cloud Platform. In this situation, this machine is often your local machine. When you launch your Job from a remote machine, such as a Jobserver, select this check box and in the Path to Google Credentials file field that is displayed, enter the directory in which this JSON file is stored in the Jobserver machine. You can also click the [...] button, and then in the pop-up dialog box, browse for the JSON file. For further information about this Google Credentials file, see the administrator of your Google Cloud Platform or visit Google Cloud Platform Auth Guide.

When you use this component with HDInsight:

WebHCat configuration	Enter the address and the authentication information of the Microsoft HD Insight cluster to be used. For example, the address could be `your_hdinsight_cluster_name.azurehdinsight.net` and the authentication information is your Azure account name: `ychen`. The Studio uses this service to submit the Job to the HD Insight cluster. In the Job result folder field, enter the location in which you want to store the execution result of a Job in the Azure Storage to be used.
Job status polling configuration	In the Poll interval when retrieving Job status (in ms) field, enter the time interval (in milliseconds) at the end of which you want the Studio to ask Spark for the status of your Job. For example, this status could be Pending or Running. In the Maximum number of consecutive statuses missing field, enter the maximum number of times the Studio should retry to get a status when there is no status response.
HDInsight configuration	Enter the address and the authentication information of the Microsoft HD Insight cluster to be used. For example, the address could be `your_hdinsight_cluster_name.azurehdinsight.net` and the authentication information is your Azure account name: `ychen`. The Studio uses this service to submit the Job to the HD Insight cluster. In the Job result folder field, enter the location in which you want to store the execution result of a Job in the Azure Storage to be used.
Windows Azure Storage configuration	Enter the address and the authentication information of the Azure Storage or ADLS Gen2 account to be used. In this configuration, you do not define where to read or write your business data but define where to deploy your Job only. In the Container field, enter the name of the container to be used. You can find the available containers in the Blob blade of the Azure Storage account to be used. In the Deployment Blob field, enter the location in which you want to store the current Job and its dependent libraries in this Azure Storage account. In the Hostname field, enter the Primary Blob Service Endpoint of your Azure Storage account without the https:// part. You can find this endpoint in the Properties blade of this storage account. In the Username field, enter the name of the Azure Storage account to be used. In the Password field, enter the access key of the Azure Storage account to be used. This key can be found in the Access keys blade of this storage account.
Database	Fill this field with the name of the database.

When you use the other distributions:

Connection mode	Select a connection mode from the list. The options vary depending on the distribution you are using.
Hive server	Select the Hive server through which you want the Job using this component to execute queries on Hive. This Hive server list is available only when the Hadoop distribution to be used such as HortonWorks Data Platform V1.2.0 (Bimota) supports HiveServer2. It allows you to select HiveServer2 (Hive 2), the server that better support concurrent connections of multiple clients than HiveServer (Hive 1). For further information about HiveServer2, see https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/Setting+Up+HiveServer2.
Host	Database server IP address.
Port	Listening port number of DB server.
Database	Fill this field with the name of the database. Note: This field is not available when you select Embedded from the Connection mode list.
Username and Password	DB user authentication data. To enter the password, click the [...] button next to the password field, and then in the pop-up dialog box enter the password between double quotes and click OK to save the settings.
Use kerberos authentication	If you are accessing a Hive Metastore running with Kerberos security, select this check box and then enter the relevant parameters in the fields that appear. If this cluster is a MapR cluster of the version 5.0.0 or later, you can set the MapR ticket authentication configuration in addition or as an alternative by following the explanation in Connecting to a security-enabled MapR. Keep in mind that this configuration generates a new MapR security ticket for the username defined in the Job in each execution. If you need to reuse an existing ticket issued for the same username, leave both the Force MapR ticket authentication check box and the Use Kerberos authentication check box clear, and then MapR should be able to automatically find that ticket on the fly. The values of the following parameters can be found in the hive-site.xml file of the Hive system to be used. Hive principal uses the value of hive.metastore.kerberos.principal. This is the service principal of the Hive Metastore. HiveServer2 local user principal uses the value of hive.server2.authentication.kerberos.principal. HiveServer2 local user keytab uses the value of hive.server2.authentication.kerberos.keytab Metastore URL uses the value of javax.jdo.option.ConnectionURL. This is the JDBC connection string to the Hive Metastore. Driver class uses the value of javax.jdo.option.ConnectionDriverName. This is the name of the driver for the JDBC connection. Username uses the value of javax.jdo.option.ConnectionUserName. This, as well as the Password parameter, is the user credential for connecting to the Hive Metastore. Password uses the value of javax.jdo.option.ConnectionPassword. For the other parameters that are displayed, please consult the Hadoop configuration files they belong to. For example, the Namenode principal can be found in the hdfs-site.xml file or the hdfs-default.xml file of the distribution you are using. This check box is available depending on the Hadoop distribution you are connecting to.
Use a keytab to authenticate	Select the Use a keytab to authenticate check box to log into a Kerberos-enabled system using a given keytab file. A keytab file contains pairs of Kerberos principals and encrypted keys. You need to enter the principal to be used in the Principal field and the access path to the keytab file itself in the Keytab field. This keytab file must be stored in the machine in which your Job actually runs, for example, on a Talend Jobserver. Note that the user that executes a keytab-enabled Job is not necessarily the one a principal designates but must have the right to read the keytab file being used. For example, the username you are using to execute a Job is user1 and the principal to be used is guest; in this situation, ensure that user1 has the right to read the keytab file to be used.
Use SSL encryption	Select this check box to enable the SSL or TLS encrypted connection. Then in the fields that are displayed, provide the authentication information: In the Trust store path field, enter the path, or browse to the TrustStore file to be used. By default, the supported TrustStore types are JKS and PKCS 12. To enter the password, click the [...] button next to the password field, and then in the pop-up dialog box enter the password between double quotes and click OK to save the settings. This feature is available only to the HiveServer2 in the Standalone mode of the following distributions: Hortonworks Data Platform 2.0 + Cloudera CDH4 + Pivotal HD 2.0 + Amazon EMR 4.0.0 +
Set Resource Manager	Select this check box and in the displayed field, enter the location of the ResourceManager of your distribution. For example, `tal-qa114.talend.lan:8050`. Then you can continue to set the following parameters depending on the configuration of the Hadoop cluster to be used (if you leave the check box of a parameter clear, then at runtime, the configuration about this parameter in the Hadoop cluster to be used will be ignored ): Select the Set resourcemanager scheduler address check box and enter the Scheduler address in the field that appears. Select the Set jobhistory address check box and enter the location of the JobHistory server of the Hadoop cluster to be used. This allows the metrics information of the current Job to be stored in that JobHistory server. Select the Set staging directory check box and enter this directory defined in your Hadoop cluster for temporary files created by running programs. Typically, this directory can be found under the yarn.app.mapreduce.am.staging-dir property in the configuration files such as yarn-site.xml or mapred-site.xml of your distribution. Allocate proper memory volumes to the Map and the Reduce computations and the ApplicationMaster of YARN by selecting the Set memory check box in the Advanced settings view. Select the Set Hadoop user check box and enter the user name under which you want to execute the Job. Since a file or a directory in Hadoop has its specific owner with appropriate read or write rights, this field allows you to execute the Job directly under the user name that has the appropriate rights to access the file or directory to be processed. Select the Use datanode hostname check box to allow the Job to access datanodes via their hostnames. This actually sets the dfs.client.use.datanode.hostname property to true. When connecting to a S3N filesystem, you must select this check box. For further information about these parameters, see the documentation or contact the administrator of the Hadoop cluster to be used. For further information about the Hadoop Map/Reduce framework, see the Map/Reduce tutorial in Apache's Hadoop documentation on http://hadoop.apache.org.
Set NameNode URI	Select this check box and in the displayed field, enter the URI of the Hadoop NameNode, the master node of a Hadoop system. For example, assuming that you have chosen a machine called `masternode` as the NameNode, then the location is `hdfs://masternode:portnumber`. If you are using WebHDFS, the location should be webhdfs://masternode:portnumber; WebHDFS with SSL is not supported yet. For further information about the Hadoop Map/Reduce framework, see the Map/Reduce tutorial in Apache's Hadoop documentation on http://hadoop.apache.org.
Spark catalog	Select the Spark implementation to use. In-memory: select this value if you set the Hive thrift metastore to a Hive metastore that is not an external metastore. Hive: select this value if you set the Hive thrift metastore to an external Hive metastore that exists outside of your cluster.

The other properties:

Property type	Either Built-In or Repository. Built-In: No property data stored centrally. Repository: Select the repository file where the properties are stored.
Use an existing connection	Select this check box and in the Component List drop-down list, select the desired connection component to reuse the connection details you already defined. Note: When a Job contains the parent Job and the child Job, if you need to share an existing connection between the two levels, for example, to share the connection created by the parent Job with the child Job, you have to: In the parent level, register the database connection to be shared in the Basic settings view of the connection component which creates that very database connection. In the child level, use a dedicated connection component to read that registered database connection. For an example about how to share a database connection across Job levels, see Talend Studio User Guide.
ELT Hive Map editor	The ELT Map editor helps you to define the output schema as well as build graphically the Hive QL statement to be executed. The column names of schema can be different from the column names in the database. If you use context variables in the Expression column in the Map editor to map the input and the output schemas, put single quotation marks around these context variables, for example, `'context.v_erpName'`.
Style link	Select the way in which links are displayed. Auto: By default, the links between the input and output schemas and the Web service parameters are in the form of curves. Bezier curve: Links between the schema and the Web service parameters are in the form of curve. Line: Links between the schema and the Web service parameters are in the form of straight lines. This option slightly optimizes performance.
Distribution	Select the cluster you are using from the drop-down list. The options in the list vary depending on the component you are using. Among these options, the following ones requires specific configuration: If available in this Distribution drop-down list, the Microsoft HD Insight option allows you to use a Microsoft HD Insight cluster. For this purpose, you need to configure the connections to the HD Insight cluster and the Windows Azure Storage service of that cluster in the areas that are displayed. For detailed explanation about these parameters, search for configuring the connection manually on Talend Help Center (https://help.talend.com). If you select Amazon EMR, find more details about Amazon EMR getting started in Talend Help Center (https://help.talend.com). The Custom option allows you to connect to a cluster different from any of the distributions given in this list, that is to say, to connect to a cluster not officially supported by Talend . Select Import from existing version to import an officially supported distribution as base and then add other required jar files which the base distribution does not provide. Select Import from zip to import the configuration zip for the custom distribution to be used. This zip file should contain the libraries of the different Hadoop elements and the index file of these libraries. Note that custom versions are not officially supported by Talend . Talend and its community provide you with the opportunity to connect to custom versions from the Studio but cannot guarantee that the configuration of whichever version you choose will be easy, due to the wide range of different Hadoop distributions and versions that are available. As such, you should only attempt to set up such a connection if you have sufficient Hadoop experience to handle any issues on your own. Note: In this dialog box, the active check box must be kept selected so as to import the jar files pertinent to the connection to be created between the custom distribution and this component. For a step-by-step example about how to connect to a custom distribution and share this connection, see Hortonworks.
Hive version	Select the version of the Hadoop distribution you are using. The available options vary depending on the component you are using.
Execution engine	Select this check box and from the drop-down list, select the framework you need to use to run the Job. This list is available only when you are using the Embedded mode for the Hive connection and the distribution you are working with is: Custom: this option allows you connect to a distribution supporting Tez but not officially supported by Talend . Before using Tez, ensure that the Hadoop cluster you are using supports Tez. You will need to configure the access to the relevant Tez libraries via the Advanced settings view of this component. For further information about Hive on Tez, see Apache's related documentation in https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/Hive+on+Tez. Some examples are presented there to show how Tez can be used to gain performance over MapReduce.

When you need to enable Hive components to access HBase:

These parameters are available only when the Use an existing connection check box is clear.

Store by HBase	Select this check box to display the parameters to be set to allow the Hive components to access HBase tables: Once this access is configured, you will be able to use, in tHiveRow and tHiveInput, the Hive QL statements to read and write data in HBase. If you are using the Kerberos authentication, you need to define the HBase related principals in the corresponding fields that are displayed. For further information about this access involving Hive and HBase, see Apache's Hive documentation about Hive/HBase integration.
Zookeeper quorum	Type in the name or the URL of the Zookeeper service you use to coordinate the transaction between your Studio and your database. Note that when you configure the Zookeeper, you might need to explicitly set the zookeeper.znode.parent property to define the path to the root znode that contains all the znodes created and used by your database; then select the Set Zookeeper znode parent check box to define this property.
Zookeeper client port	Type in the number of the client listening port of the Zookeeper service you are using.
Define the jars to register for HBase	Select this check box to display the Register jar for HBase table, in which you can register any missing jar file required by HBase, for example, the Hive Storage Handler, by default, registered along with your Hive installation.
Register jar for HBase	Click the [+] button to add rows to this table, then, in the Jar name column, select the jar file(s) to be registered and in the Jar path column, enter the path(s) pointing to that or those jar file(s).

Advanced settings

Tez lib	Select how the Tez libraries are accessed: Auto install: at runtime, the Job uploads and deploys the Tez libraries provided by the Studio into the directory you specified in the Install folder in HDFS field, for example, /tmp/usr/tez. If you have set the tez.lib.uris property in the properties table, this directory overrides the value of that property at runtime. But the other properties set in the properties table are still effective. Use exist: the Job accesses the Tez libraries already deployed in the Hadoop cluster to be used. You need to enter the path pointing to those libraries in the Lib path (folder or file) field. Lib jar: this table appears when you have selected Auto install from the Tez lib list and the distribution you are using is Custom. In this table, you need to add the Tez libraries to be uploaded.
Temporary path	If you do not want to set the Jobtracker and the NameNode when you execute the query `select * from your_table_name`, you need to set this temporary path. For example, /C:/select_all in Windows.
Hadoop properties	Talend Studio uses a default configuration for its engine to perform operations in a Hadoop distribution. If you need to use a custom configuration in a specific situation, complete this table with the property or properties to be customized. Then at runtime, the customized property or properties will override those default ones. Note that if you are using the centrally stored metadata from the Repository, this table automatically inherits the properties defined in that metadata and becomes uneditable unless you change the Property type from Repository to Built-in. For further information about the properties required by Hadoop and its related systems such as HDFS and Hive, see the documentation of the Hadoop distribution you are using or see Apache's Hadoop documentation on http://hadoop.apache.org/docs and then select the version of the documentation you want. For demonstration purposes, the links to some properties are listed below: Typically, the HDFS-related properties can be found in the hdfs-default.xml file of your distribution, such as http://hadoop.apache.org/docs/r2.6.0/hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-hdfs/hdfs-default.xml. Apache also provides a page to list the Hive-related properties: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/Configuration+Properties.
Hive properties	Talend Studio uses a default configuration for its engine to perform operations in a Hive database. If you need to use a custom configuration in a specific situation, complete this table with the property or properties to be customized. Then at runtime, the customized property or properties will override those default ones. For further information for Hive dedicated properties, see https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/AdminManual+Configuration. If you need to use Tez to run your Hive Job, add hive.execution.engine to the Properties column and `Tez` to the Value column, enclosing both of these strings in double quotation marks. Note that if you are using the centrally stored metadata from the Repository, this table automatically inherits the properties defined in that metadata and becomes uneditable unless you change the Property type from Repository to Built-in.
Mapred job map memory mb and Mapred job reduce memory mb	You can tune the map and reduce computations by selecting the Set memory check box to set proper memory allocations for the computations to be performed by the Hadoop system. In that situation, you need to enter the values you need in the Mapred job map memory mb and the Mapred job reduce memory mb fields, respectively. By default, the values are both 1000 which are normally appropriate for running the computations.
Path separator in server	Leave the default value of the Path separator in server as it is, unless you have changed the separator used by your Hadoop distribution's host machine for its PATH variable or in other words, that separator is not a colon (:). In that situation, you must change this value to the one you are using in that host.
tStatCatcher Statistics	Select this check box to collect log data at the component level.
Temporary path	If you do not want to set the Jobtracker and the NameNode when you execute the query `select * from your_table_name`, you need to set this temporary path. For example, /C:/select_all in Windows.

Global Variables

Global Variables	ERROR_MESSAGE: the error message generated by the component when an error occurs. This is an After variable and it returns a string. This variable functions only if the Die on error check box is cleared, if the component has this check box. A Flow variable functions during the execution of a component while an After variable functions after the execution of the component. To fill up a field or expression with a variable, press Ctrl + Space to access the variable list and choose the variable to use from it. For further information about variables, see Talend Studio User Guide.

Usage

Usage rule	tELTHiveMap is used along with a tELTHiveInput and tELTHiveOutput. Note that the Output link to be used with these components must correspond strictly to the syntax of the table name. If the Studio used to connect to a Hive database is operated on Windows, you must manually create a folder called tmp in the root of the disk where this Studio is installed. Note: The ELT components do not handle actual data flow but only schema information.
Usage with Dataproc	The ELT Hive components require Tez to be installed on the Google Cloud Dataproc cluster to be used. Use the initialization action explained in this Google Cloud Platform documentation: Apache Tez on Dataproc. For more details about the general concept of the initialization actions in a Google Cloud Dataproc cluster, see the related Google documentation: Initialization actions.
Dynamic settings	Click the [+] button to add a row in the table and fill the Code field with a context variable to choose your database connection dynamically from multiple connections planned in your Job. This feature is useful when you need to access database tables having the same data structure but in different databases, especially when you are working in an environment where you cannot change your Job settings, for example, when your Job has to be deployed and executed independent of Talend Studio. The Dynamic settings table is available only when the Use an existing connection check box is selected in the Basic settings view. Once a dynamic parameter is defined, the Component List box in the Basic settings view becomes unusable. For examples on using dynamic parameters, see Reading data from databases through context-based dynamic connections and Reading data from different MySQL databases using dynamically loaded connection parameters. For more information on Dynamic settings and context variables, see Talend Studio User Guide.
Prerequisites	The Hadoop distribution must be properly installed, so as to guarantee the interaction with Talend Studio . The following list presents MapR related information for example. Ensure that you have installed the MapR client in the machine where the Studio is, and added the MapR client library to the PATH variable of that machine. According to MapR's documentation, the library or libraries of a MapR client corresponding to each OS version can be found under MAPR_INSTALL\ hadoop\hadoop-VERSION\lib\native. For example, the library for Windows is \lib\native\MapRClient.dll in the MapR client jar file. For further information, see the following link from MapR: http://www.mapr.com/blog/basic-notes-on-configuring-eclipse-as-a-hadoop-development-environment-for-mapr. Without adding the specified library or libraries, you may encounter the following error: `no MapRClient in java.library.path`. Set the `-Djava.library.path` argument, for example, in the Job Run VM arguments area of the Run/Debug view in the Preferences dialog box in the Window menu. This argument provides to the Studio the path to the native library of that MapR client. This allows the subscription-based users to make full use of the Data viewer to view locally in the Studio the data stored in MapR. For further information about how to install a Hadoop distribution, see the manuals corresponding to the Hadoop distribution you are using.
