SplitAvro 2.3.0

BUNDLE

org.apache.nifi | nifi-avro-nar

DESCRIPTION

Splits a binary encoded Avro datafile into smaller files based on the configured Output Size. The Output Strategy determines if the smaller files will be Avro datafiles, or bare Avro records with metadata in the FlowFile attributes. The output will always be binary encoded.

PROPERTIES

Property

Description

Output Size

The number of Avro records to include per split file. In cases where the incoming file has less records than the Output Size, or when the total number of records does not divide evenly by the Output Size, it is possible to get a split file with less records.

Output Strategy

Determines the format of the output. Either Avro Datafile, or bare record. Bare record output is only intended for use with systems that already require it, and shouldn’t be needed for normal use.

Split Strategy

The strategy for splitting the incoming datafile. The Record strategy will read the incoming datafile by de-serializing each record.

Transfer Metadata

Whether or not to transfer metadata from the parent datafile to the children. If the Output Strategy is Bare Record, then the metadata will be stored as FlowFile attributes, otherwise it will be in the Datafile header.

RELATIONSHIPS

failure

If a FlowFile fails processing for any reason (for example, the FlowFile is not valid Avro), it will be routed to this relationship

split

All new files split from the original FlowFile will be routed to this relationship

original

The original FlowFile that was split. If the FlowFile fails processing, nothing will be sent to this relationship

fragment.index

A one-up number that indicates the ordering of the split FlowFiles that were created from a single parent FlowFile

fragment.count
