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 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. E.g. use

'glob:*.avro'or 'regex:^.*\.(avro)$' to include all avro files one level deep in the inputDirURI

'glob:**/*.avro' to include all the avro files in inputDirURI as well as its subdirectories. 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

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.

segmentTarPushJobRunnerClassName

The class name implements org.apache.pinot.spi.ingestion.batch.runner.IngestionJobRunner interface to push the segment TAR file

segmentUriPushJobRunnerClassName

The class name implements org.apache.pinot.spi.ingestion.batch.runner.IngestionJobRunner interface to send segment URI

segmentMetadataPushJobRunnerClassName

The class name implements org.apache.pinot.spi.ingestion.batch.runner.IngestionJobRunner interface to send segment Metadata

extraConfigs

Key-value pairs of configs related to the framework of the executions

Example

executionFrameworkSpec:
