Ingestion Job Spec

The ingestion job spec is used while generating, running, and pushing segments from the input files.
The Job spec can be in either YAML or JSON format (0.5.0 onwards). Property names remain the same in both formats.
To use the JSON format, add the propertyjob-spec-format=jsonin the properties file while launching the ingestion job. The properties file can be passed as follows
pinot-admin.sh LaunchDataIngestionJob -jobSpecFile /path/to/job_spec.json -propertyFile /path/to/job.properties
The values for the template strings in the jobSpecFile can be passed in one of the following three ways mentioned in their order of precedence,
1.Values from the -values array passed See Launch Data Ingestion Job​
2.Values from the environment variable
3.Values from the propertyFile
The following configurations are supported by Pinot
Top Level Spec
Property
Description
executionFrameworkSpec
Contains config related to the executor to use to ingest data. See Execution Framework Spec​
jobType
Type of job to execute. The following types are supported
SegmentCreation
SegmentTarPush
SegmentUriPush
SegmentMetadataPush
SegmentCreationAndTarPush
SegmentCreationAndUriPush
SegmentCreationAndMetadataPush
Note: For production environments where Pinot Deep Store is configured, it's recommended to use SegmentCreationAndMetadataPush
inputDirURI
Absolute Path along with scheme of the directory containing all the files to be ingested, e.g. s3://bucket/path/to/input, /path/to/local/input
includeFileNamePattern
Only Files matching this pattern will be included from inputDirURI. Both glob and regex patterns are supported.
Examples:
Use 'glob:.avro'or 'regex:^..(avro)$' to include all avro files one level deep in the inputDirURI.
Alternatively, use 'glob:*/.avro' to include all the avro files in inputDirURI as well as its subdirectories - bear in mind that, with this approach, the pattern needs to match the absolute path. You can use Glob tool or Regex Tool to test out your patterns.
excludeFileNamePattern
Exclude file name pattern, supported glob pattern. Similar usage as includeFilePatternName
searchRecursively
Set to true to explicitly search input files recursively from inputDirURI. It is set to true by default for now.
outputDirURI
Absolute Path along with scheme of the directory where to output all the segments.
overwriteOutput
Set to true to overwrite segments if already present in the output directory. Or set tofalseto raise exceptions.
pinotFSSpecs
List of all the filesystems to be used for ingestions. You can mention multiple values in case input and output directories are present in different filesystems. For more details, scroll down to Pinot FS Spec.
tableSpec
Defines table name and where to fetch corresponding table config and table schema. For more details, scroll down to Table Spec.

Segment Name Generator Spec
Property
Description
type
The type of name generator to use. If not specified, an appropriate type will be inferred based on segment generator config properties. The following values are supported -
simple - this is the default spec.
normalizedDate - use this type when the time column in your data is in the String format instead of epoch time.
fixed - configure the segment name by the user.
inputFile - supports naming the resulting segment file based on the input file name & path. Use this if your table doesn't have a time column. Ensure that input file names are unique though otherwise will lead to several issues.
configs
Configs to init SegmentNameGenerator
segment.name
For fixed SegmentNameGenerator. Explicitly set the segment name.
segment.name.postfix
For simple SegmentNameGenerator.
Postfix will be appended to all the segment names.
segment.name.prefix
For normalizedDate SegmentNameGenerator.
The Prefix will be prepended to all the segment names.
exclude.sequence.id
Whether to include sequence ids in segment name.
Needed when there are multiple segments for the same time range.
use.global.directory.sequence.id
Assign sequence ids to input files based on all input files under the directory.
Set to false to use local directory sequence id. This is useful when generating multiple segments for multiple days. In that case, each of the days will start from sequence id 0.
append.uuid.to.segment.name
If the input data doesn't contain a time column, set this to true to generate unique segment names. Can be used with any name generator type.
file.path.pattern
For inputFile, a Java regular expression used to match against the input file URI. e.g. '.+/(.+).gz' to extract file name from a .gz file without the extension
segment.name.template
For inputFile , the string template that should be used to substitute extracted fileName. Currently only supports ${filePathPattern:<match group>}
Example
segmentNameGeneratorSpec:
  type: normalizedDate
  configs:
    segment.name.prefix: 'airlineStats_batch'
    exclude.sequence.id: true
To set the segment name to be the same as the input file name (without the trailing .gz), use:
segmentNameGeneratorSpec:
  type: inputFile
  configs:
    file.path.pattern: '.+/(.+)\.gz'
    segment.name.template: '\${filePathPattern:\1}'
Note that $ in the yaml file must be escaped, since Pinot uses Groovy's SimpleTemplateEngine to process the yaml file, and a raw $ is treated as a template specifier.
Pinot Cluster Spec
Property
Description
controllerURI
URI to use to fetch table/schema information and push data
Example
pinotClusterSpecs:
  - controllerURI: 'http://localhost:9000'
Push Job Spec

pushAttempts
Number of attempts for push job. Default is 1, which means no retry
pushParallelism
Workers to use for push job. Default is 1
pushRetryIntervalMillis
Time in milliseconds to wait for between retry attempts Default is 1 second.
segmentUriPrefix
append this string before the path of the push destination. Generally, it is the scheme of the filesystem e.g. s3:// , file:// etc.
segmentUriSuffix
append this string after the path of the push destination.
Example
pushJobSpec:
  pushParallelism: 2
  pushAttempts: 2
  pushRetryIntervalMillis: 1000
  segmentUriPrefix : 'file://'
  segmentUriSuffix : my-dir/
