path [string]​

The target dir path is required.

bucket [string]​

The bucket address of cos file system, for example: cosn://nexus-test-1259587829

secret_id [string]​

The secret id of cos file system.

secret_key [string]​

The secret key of cos file system.

region [string]​

The region of cos file system.

custom_filename [boolean]​

Whether custom the filename

file_name_expression [string]​

Only used when custom_filename is true

file_name_expression describes the file expression which will be created into the path. We can add the variable ${now} or ${uuid} in the file_name_expression, like test_${uuid}_${now}, ${now} represents the current time, and its format can be defined by specifying the option filename_time_format.

Please note that, If is_enable_transaction is true, we will auto add ${transactionId}_ in the head of the file.

filename_time_format [string]​

Only used when custom_filename is true

When the format in the file_name_expression parameter is xxxx-${now} , filename_time_format can specify the time format of the path, and the default value is yyyy.MM.dd . The commonly used time formats are listed as follows:

Symbol	Description
y	Year
M	Month
d	Day of month
H	Hour in day (0-23)
m	Minute in hour
s	Second in minute

file_format_type [string]​

We supported as the following file types:

text csv parquet orc json excel xml binary

Please note that, The final file name will end with the file_format's suffix, the suffix of the text file is txt.

field_delimiter [string]​

The separator between columns in a row of data. Only needed by text file format.

row_delimiter [string]​

The separator between rows in a file. Only needed by text file format.

have_partition [boolean]​

Whether you need processing partitions.

partition_by [array]​

Only used when have_partition is true.

Partition data based on selected fields.

partition_dir_expression [string]​

Only used when have_partition is true.

If the partition_by is specified, we will generate the corresponding partition directory based on the partition information, and the final file will be placed in the partition directory.

Default partition_dir_expression is ${k0}=${v0}/${k1}=${v1}/.../${kn}=${vn}/. k0 is the first partition field and v0 is the value of the first partition field.

is_partition_field_write_in_file [boolean]​

Only used when have_partition is true.

If is_partition_field_write_in_file is true, the partition field and the value of it will be write into data file.

For example, if you want to write a Hive Data File, Its value should be false.

sink_columns [array]​

Which columns need be written to file, default value is all the columns get from Transform or Source. The order of the fields determines the order in which the file is actually written.

is_enable_transaction [boolean]​

If is_enable_transaction is true, we will ensure that data will not be lost or duplicated when it is written to the target directory.

Please note that, If is_enable_transaction is true, we will auto add ${transactionId}_ in the head of the file.

Only support true now.

batch_size [int]​

The maximum number of rows in a file. For Nexus Engine, the number of lines in the file is determined by batch_size and checkpoint.interval jointly decide. If the value of checkpoint.interval is large enough, sink writer will write rows in a file until the rows in the file larger than batch_size. If checkpoint.interval is small, the sink writer will create a new file when a new checkpoint trigger.

compress_codec [string]​

The compress codec of files and the details that supported as the following shown:

• txt: lzo none

• json: lzo none

• csv: lzo none

• orc: lzo snappy lz4 zlib none

• parquet: lzo snappy lz4 gzip brotli zstd none

Tips: excel type does not support any compression format

common options​

Sink plugin common parameters, please refer to Sink Common Options for details.

max_rows_in_memory [int]​

When File Format is Excel,The maximum number of data items that can be cached in the memory.

sheet_name [string]​

Writer the sheet of the workbook

xml_root_tag [string]​

Specifies the tag name of the root element within the XML file.

xml_row_tag [string]​

Specifies the tag name of the data rows within the XML file.

xml_use_attr_format [boolean]​

Specifies Whether to process data using the tag attribute format.

parquet_avro_write_timestamp_as_int96 [boolean]​

Support writing Parquet INT96 from a timestamp, only valid for parquet files.

parquet_avro_write_fixed_as_int96 [array]​

Support writing Parquet INT96 from a 12-byte field, only valid for parquet files.

encoding [string]​

Only used when file_format_type is json,text,csv,xml. The encoding of the file to write. This param will be parsed by Charset.forName(encoding).

Example​

For text file format with have_partition and custom_filename and sink_columns

  CosFile {
    path="/sink"
    bucket = "cosn://nexus-test-1259587829"
    secret_id = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
    secret_key = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
    region = "ap-chengdu"
    file_format_type = "text"
    field_delimiter = "\t"
    row_delimiter = "\n"
    have_partition = true
    partition_by = ["age"]
    partition_dir_expression = "${k0}=${v0}"
    is_partition_field_write_in_file = true
    custom_filename = true
    file_name_expression = "${transactionId}_${now}"
    filename_time_format = "yyyy.MM.dd"
    sink_columns = ["name","age"]
    is_enable_transaction = true
  }

For parquet file format with have_partition and sink_columns

  CosFile {
    path="/sink"
    bucket = "cosn://nexus-test-1259587829"
    secret_id = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
    secret_key = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
    region = "ap-chengdu"
    have_partition = true
    partition_by = ["age"]
    partition_dir_expression = "${k0}=${v0}"
    is_partition_field_write_in_file = true
    file_format_type = "parquet"
    sink_columns = ["name","age"]
  }

For orc file format simple config

  CosFile {
    path="/sink"
    bucket = "cosn://nexus-test-1259587829"
    secret_id = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
    secret_key = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
    region = "ap-chengdu"
    file_format_type = "orc"
  }
