HDFS Connector Configuration Options

HDFS

hdfs.url

The HDFS connection URL. This configuration has the format of hdfs://hostname:port and specifies the HDFS to export data to. This property is deprecated and will be removed in future releases. Use store.url instead.

Security

hdfs.authentication.kerberos

Configuration indicating whether HDFS is using Kerberos for authentication.

  • Type: boolean
  • Default: false
  • Importance: high
  • Dependents: connect.hdfs.principal, connect.hdfs.keytab, hdfs.namenode.principal, kerberos.ticket.renew.period.ms
connect.hdfs.principal

The principal to use when HDFS is using Kerberos to for authentication.

  • Type: string
  • Default: “”
  • Importance: high
connect.hdfs.keytab

The path to the keytab file for the HDFS connector principal. This keytab file should only be readable by the connector user.

  • Type: string
  • Default: “”
  • Importance: high
hdfs.namenode.principal

The principal for HDFS Namenode.

  • Type: string
  • Default: “”
  • Importance: high
kerberos.ticket.renew.period.ms

The period in milliseconds to renew the Kerberos ticket.

  • Type: long
  • Default: 3600000
  • Importance: low

Connector

format.class

The format class to use when writing data to the store. Format classes implement the io.confluent.connect.storage.format.Format interface.

  • Type: class
  • Default: io.confluent.connect.hdfs.avro.AvroFormat
  • Importance: high

These classes are available by default:

  • io.confluent.connect.hdfs.avro.AvroFormat
  • io.confluent.connect.hdfs.json.JsonFormat
  • io.confluent.connect.hdfs.parquet.ParquetFormat
  • io.confluent.connect.hdfs.string.StringFormat
flush.size

Number of records written to store before invoking file commits.

  • Type: int
  • Importance: high
rotate.interval.ms

The time interval in milliseconds to invoke file commits. This configuration ensures that file commits are invoked every configured interval. This configuration is useful when data ingestion rate is low and the connector didn’t write enough messages to commit files. The default value -1 means that this feature is disabled.

  • Type: long
  • Default: -1
  • Importance: high
rotate.schedule.interval.ms

The time interval in milliseconds to periodically invoke file commits. This configuration ensures that file commits are invoked every configured interval. Time of commit will be adjusted to 00:00 of selected timezone. Commit will be performed at scheduled time regardless previous commit time or number of messages. This configuration is useful when you have to commit your data based on current server time, like at the beginning of every hour. The default value -1 means that this feature is disabled.

  • Type: long
  • Default: -1
  • Importance: medium
schema.cache.size

The size of the schema cache used in the Avro converter.

  • Type: int
  • Default: 1000
  • Importance: low
retry.backoff.ms

The retry backoff in milliseconds. This config is used to notify Kafka connect to retry delivering a message batch or performing recovery in case of transient exceptions.

  • Type: long
  • Default: 5000
  • Importance: low
shutdown.timeout.ms

Clean shutdown timeout. This makes sure that asynchronous Hive metastore updates are completed during connector shutdown.

  • Type: long
  • Default: 3000
  • Importance: medium
filename.offset.zero.pad.width

Width to zero pad offsets in store’s filenames if offsets are too short in order to provide fixed width filenames that can be ordered by simple lexicographic sorting.

  • Type: int
  • Default: 10
  • Valid Values: [0,…]
  • Importance: low

Storage

storage.class

The underlying storage layer.

  • Type: class
  • Default: io.confluent.connect.hdfs.storage.HdfsStorage
  • Importance: high
topics.dir

Top level directory to store the data ingested from Kafka.

  • Type: string
  • Default: topics
  • Importance: high
store.url

Store’s connection URL, if applicable.

  • Type: string
  • Default: null
  • Importance: high
directory.delim

Directory delimiter pattern

  • Type: string
  • Default: /
  • Importance: medium
file.delim

File delimiter pattern

  • Type: string
  • Default: +
  • Importance: medium

Partitioner

partitioner.class

The partitioner to use when writing data to the store. You can use DefaultPartitioner, which preserves the Kafka partitions; FieldPartitioner, which partitions the data to different directories according to the value of the partitioning field specified in partition.field.name; TimeBasedPartitioner, which partitions data according to ingestion time.

  • Type: class
  • Default: io.confluent.connect.storage.partitioner.DefaultPartitioner
  • Importance: high

partition.duration.ms

The duration of a partition milliseconds used by TimeBasedPartitioner. The default value -1 means that we are not using TimeBasedPartitioner.

  • Type: long
  • Default: -1
  • Importance: medium
path.format

This configuration is used to set the format of the data directories when partitioning with TimeBasedPartitioner. The format set in this configuration converts the Unix timestamp to proper directories strings. For example, if you set path.format='year'=YYYY/'month'=MM/'day'=dd/'hour'=HH, the data directories will have the format /year=2015/month=12/day=07/hour=15/.
