================================= Schema Less Json Source Connector ================================= .. code-block:: text com.github.jcustenborder.kafka.connect.spooldir.SpoolDirSchemaLessJsonSourceConnector This connector is used to `stream _` JSON files from a directory. This connector will read each file node by node writing each node as a record in Kafka.For example if your data file contains several json objects the connector will read from { to } for each object and write each object to Kafka. .. IMPORTANT:: This connector does not try to convert the json records to a schema. The recommended converter to use is the StringConverter. Example: `value.converter=org.apache.kafka.connect.storage.StringConverter` ------------- Configuration ------------- ^^^^^^^^^^^ File System ^^^^^^^^^^^ """""""""" error.path """""""""" The directory to place files in which have error(s). This directory must exist and be writable by the user running Kafka Connect. **Importance:** HIGH **Type:** STRING **Validator:** Absolute path to a directory that exists and is writable. """""""""""""""""" input.file.pattern """""""""""""""""" Regular expression to check input file names against. This expression must match the entire filename. The equivalent of Matcher.matches(). **Importance:** HIGH **Type:** STRING """""""""" input.path """""""""" The directory to read files that will be processed. This directory must exist and be writable by the user running Kafka Connect. **Importance:** HIGH **Type:** STRING **Validator:** Absolute path to a directory that exists and is writable. """"""""""""" finished.path """"""""""""" The directory to place files that have been successfully processed. This directory must exist and be writable by the user running Kafka Connect. **Importance:** HIGH **Type:** STRING """"""""""""" halt.on.error """"""""""""" Should the task halt when it encounters an error or continue to the next file. **Importance:** HIGH **Type:** BOOLEAN **Default Value:** true """""""""""""" cleanup.policy """""""""""""" Determines how the connector should cleanup the files that have been successfully processed. NONE leaves the files in place which could cause them to be reprocessed if the connector is restarted. DELETE removes the file from the filesystem. MOVE will move the file to a finished directory. MOVEBYDATE will move the file to a finished directory with subdirectories by date **Importance:** MEDIUM **Type:** STRING **Default Value:** MOVE **Validator:** Matches: ``NONE``, ``DELETE``, ``MOVE``, ``MOVEBYDATE`` """""""""""""""" task.partitioner """""""""""""""" The task partitioner implementation is used when the connector is configured to use more than one task. This is used by each task to identify which files will be processed by that task. This ensures that each file is only assigned to one task. **Importance:** MEDIUM **Type:** STRING **Default Value:** ByName **Validator:** Matches: ``ByName`` """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" cleanup.policy.maintain.relative.path """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" If `input.path.walk.recursively` is enabled in combination with this flag being `true`, the walked sub-directories which contained files will be retained as-is under the `input.path`. The actual files within the sub-directories will moved (with a copy of the sub-dir structure) or deleted as per the `cleanup.policy` defined, but the parent sub-directory structure will remain. **Importance:** LOW **Type:** BOOLEAN """""""""""""""""""""" file.buffer.size.bytes """""""""""""""""""""" The size of buffer for the BufferedInputStream that will be used to interact with the file system. **Importance:** LOW **Type:** INT **Default Value:** 131072 **Validator:** [1,...] """"""""""""""""""" file.minimum.age.ms """"""""""""""""""" The amount of time in milliseconds after the file was last written to before the file can be processed. **Importance:** LOW **Type:** LONG **Default Value:** 0 **Validator:** [0,...] """"""""""""""""""""" files.sort.attributes """"""""""""""""""""" The attributes each file will use to determine the sort order. `Name` is name of the file. `Length` is the length of the file preferring larger files first. `LastModified` is the LastModified attribute of the file preferring older files first. **Importance:** LOW **Type:** LIST **Default Value:** [NameAsc] **Validator:** Matches: ``NameAsc``, ``NameDesc``, ``LengthAsc``, ``LengthDesc``, ``LastModifiedAsc``, ``LastModifiedDesc`` """"""""""""""""""""""""""" input.path.walk.recursively """"""""""""""""""""""""""" If enabled, any sub-directories dropped under `input.path` will be recursively walked looking for files matching the configured `input.file.pattern`. After processing is complete the discovered sub directory structure (as well as files within them) will handled according to the configured `cleanup.policy` (i.e. moved or deleted etc). For each discovered file, the walked sub-directory path will be set as a header named `file.relative.path` **Importance:** LOW **Type:** BOOLEAN """"""""""""""""""""""""" processing.file.extension """"""""""""""""""""""""" Before a file is processed, a flag is created in its directory to indicate the file is being handled. The flag file has the same name as the file, but with this property appended as a suffix. **Importance:** LOW **Type:** STRING **Default Value:** .PROCESSING **Validator:** Matches regex( ^.*\..+$ ) ^^^^^^^ General ^^^^^^^ """"" topic """"" The Kafka topic to write the data to. **Importance:** HIGH **Type:** STRING """""""""" batch.size """""""""" The number of records that should be returned with each batch. **Importance:** LOW **Type:** INT **Default Value:** 1000 """""""""""""""""" empty.poll.wait.ms """""""""""""""""" The amount of time to wait if a poll returns an empty list of records. **Importance:** LOW **Type:** LONG **Default Value:** 500 **Validator:** [1,...,9223372036854775807] """""""""""" file.charset """""""""""" Character set to read wth file with. **Importance:** LOW **Type:** STRING **Default Value:** US-ASCII **Validator:** Big5,Big5-HKSCS,CESU-8,EUC-JP,EUC-KR,GB18030,GB2312,GBK,IBM-Thai,IBM00858,IBM01140,IBM01141,IBM01142,IBM01143,IBM01144,IBM01145,IBM01146,IBM01147,IBM01148,IBM01149,IBM037,IBM1026,IBM1047,IBM273,IBM277,IBM278,IBM280,IBM284,IBM285,IBM290,IBM297,IBM420,IBM424,IBM437,IBM500,IBM775,IBM850,IBM852,IBM855,IBM857,IBM860,IBM861,IBM862,IBM863,IBM864,IBM865,IBM866,IBM868,IBM869,IBM870,IBM871,IBM918,ISO-2022-CN,ISO-2022-JP,ISO-2022-JP-2,ISO-2022-KR,ISO-8859-1,ISO-8859-13,ISO-8859-15,ISO-8859-2,ISO-8859-3,ISO-8859-4,ISO-8859-5,ISO-8859-6,ISO-8859-7,ISO-8859-8,ISO-8859-9,JIS_X0201,JIS_X0212-1990,KOI8-R,KOI8-U,Shift_JIS,TIS-620,US-ASCII,UTF-16,UTF-16BE,UTF-16LE,UTF-32,UTF-32BE,UTF-32LE,UTF-8,windows-1250,windows-1251,windows-1252,windows-1253,windows-1254,windows-1255,windows-1256,windows-1257,windows-1258,windows-31j,x-Big5-HKSCS-2001,x-Big5-Solaris,x-COMPOUND_TEXT,x-euc-jp-linux,x-EUC-TW,x-eucJP-Open,x-IBM1006,x-IBM1025,x-IBM1046,x-IBM1097,x-IBM1098,x-IBM1112,x-IBM1122,x-IBM1123,x-IBM1124,x-IBM1166,x-IBM1364,x-IBM1381,x-IBM1383,x-IBM300,x-IBM33722,x-IBM737,x-IBM833,x-IBM834,x-IBM856,x-IBM874,x-IBM875,x-IBM921,x-IBM922,x-IBM930,x-IBM933,x-IBM935,x-IBM937,x-IBM939,x-IBM942,x-IBM942C,x-IBM943,x-IBM943C,x-IBM948,x-IBM949,x-IBM949C,x-IBM950,x-IBM964,x-IBM970,x-ISCII91,x-ISO-2022-CN-CNS,x-ISO-2022-CN-GB,x-iso-8859-11,x-JIS0208,x-JISAutoDetect,x-Johab,x-MacArabic,x-MacCentralEurope,x-MacCroatian,x-MacCyrillic,x-MacDingbat,x-MacGreek,x-MacHebrew,x-MacIceland,x-MacRoman,x-MacRomania,x-MacSymbol,x-MacThai,x-MacTurkish,x-MacUkraine,x-MS932_0213,x-MS950-HKSCS,x-MS950-HKSCS-XP,x-mswin-936,x-PCK,x-SJIS_0213,x-UTF-16LE-BOM,X-UTF-32BE-BOM,X-UTF-32LE-BOM,x-windows-50220,x-windows-50221,x-windows-874,x-windows-949,x-windows-950,x-windows-iso2022jp """""""""" task.count """""""""" Internal setting to the connector used to instruct a task on which files to select.
