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

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
Include file name pattern, supported glob and regex patterns. E.g. 
'glob:*.avro'or 'regex:^.*\.(avro)#x27; will include all avro files just under the inputDirURI, not sub directories
'glob:**/*.avro' will include all the avro files under inputDirURI recursively.
excludeFileNamePattern
Exclude file name pattern, supported glob pattern. Similar usage as includeFilePatternName
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.
recordReaderSpec
Parser to use to read and decode input data. For more details, scroll down to Record Reader Spec.
segmentNameGeneratorSpec
Defines how the names of the segments will be. For more details, scroll down to Segment Name Generator Spec.
pinotClusterSpecs
Defines the Pinot Cluster Access Point. For more details, scroll down to Pinot Cluster Spec.
pushJobSpec
Defines segment push job-related configuration. For more details, scroll down to Push Job Spec.

    segment.name.postfix
For simple SegmentNameGenerator.
