Apache Parquet connector for Jitterbit Integration Studio

Summary

The Apache Parquet connector establishes access to Apache Parquet.

The Apache Parquet connector provides an interface for creating an Apache Parquet connection, the foundation used for generating instances of Apache Parquet activities. These activities, once configured, interact with Apache Parquet through the connection.

The Apache Parquet connector is accessed from the design component palette's Project endpoints and connectors tab (see Design component palette).

Note

This connector can be used only with private agents. In addition, it is a Connector SDK-based connector, which may be referred to by Jitterbit when communicating changes made to connectors built with the Connector SDK.

Connection documentation

In addition to the Apache Parquet connection, see the comprehensive Apache Parquet connection details page. Configuration details such as these are included on that page:

  • Getting Started: Initial steps for establishing a connection.
  • Advanced Features: User-defined views and SSL configuration.
  • Data Model: The data model that the connector uses to represent the endpoint.
  • Advanced Configurations Properties: Properties that can be defined to configure a connection for both basic and advanced configurations.

Activity documentation

Together, a specific Apache Parquet connection and its activities are referred to as an Apache Parquet endpoint:

Apache Parquet activity types

  • Query: Retrieves records from a table at Apache Parquet and is intended to be used as a source in an operation.

  • Create: Inserts a record into a table at Apache Parquet and is intended to be used as a target in an operation.

  • Execute: Executes a procedure at Apache Parquet and is intended to be used as a target in an operation.

Prerequisites and supported API versions

The Apache Parquet connector requires the use of an agent version 10.1 or later. These agent versions automatically download the latest version of the connector when required.

This connector requires the use of a private agent.

Refer to the documentation for information on the schema nodes and fields.

OAuth authentication

OAuth authentication is supported as described in Configure OAuth connections.

Troubleshooting

If you experience issues with the Apache Parquet connector, these troubleshooting steps are recommended:

  1. Click the Test button in the connection configuration to ensure the connection is successful and to ensure the latest version of the connector is downloaded to the agent (unless using the Disable Auto Connector Update organization policy).

  2. Check the operation logs for any information written during execution of the operation.

  3. Enable operation debug logging for private agents to generate additional log files and data.

  4. Enable connector verbose logging for this connector using this specific configuration entry of logger name and level:

    <logger name="org.jitterbit.connector.verbose.logging.Parquet" level="TRACE"/>

  5. Check the agent logs for more information.
