Definition at line 328 of file CreateTableExternal.cs.

◆ BAD\_RECORD\_TABLE\_NAME

const string kinetica.CreateTableExternalRequest.Options.BAD\_RECORD\_TABLE\_NAME = "bad\_record\_table\_name"
static

Name of a table to which records that were rejected are written.

The bad-record-table has the following columns: line\_number (long), line\_rejected (string), error\_message (string). When ERROR\_HANDLING is ABORT, bad records table is not populated.

Definition at line 313 of file CreateTableExternal.cs.

◆ BATCH\_SIZE

const string kinetica.CreateTableExternalRequest.Options.BATCH\_SIZE = "batch\_size"
static

Number of records to insert per batch when inserting data.

The default value is '50000'.

Definition at line 333 of file CreateTableExternal.cs.

◆ BZIP2

Definition at line 428 of file CreateTableExternal.cs.

◆ COLUMN\_FORMATS

const string kinetica.CreateTableExternalRequest.Options.COLUMN\_FORMATS = "column\_formats"
static

For each target column specified, applies the column-property-bound format to the source data loaded into that column.

Each column format will contain a mapping of one or more of its column properties to an appropriate format for each property. Currently supported column properties include date, time, and datetime. The parameter value must be formatted as a JSON string of maps of column names to maps of column properties to their corresponding column formats, e.g., '{"{"} "order\_date" : {"{"} "date" : "%Y.%m.%d" {"}"}, "order\_time" : {"{"} "time" : "%H:%M:%S" {"}"} {"}"}'.

See DEFAULT\_COLUMN\_FORMATS for valid format syntax.

Definition at line 349 of file CreateTableExternal.cs.

◆ COLUMNS\_TO\_LOAD

const string kinetica.CreateTableExternalRequest.Options.COLUMNS\_TO\_LOAD = "columns\_to\_load"
static

Specifies a comma-delimited list of columns from the source data to load.

If more than one file is being loaded, this list applies to all files.

Column numbers can be specified discretely or as a range. For example, a value of '5,7,1..3' will insert values from the fifth column in the source data into the first column in the target table, from the seventh column in the source data into the second column in the target table, and from the first through third columns in the source data into the third through fifth columns in the target table.

If the source data contains a header, column names matching the file header names may be provided instead of column numbers. If the target table doesn't exist, the table will be created with the columns in this order. If the target table does exist with columns in a different order than the source data, this list can be used to match the order of the target table. For example, a value of 'C, B, A' will create a three column table with column C, followed by column B, followed by column A; or will insert those fields in that order into a table created with columns in that order. If the target table exists, the column names must match the source data field names for a name-mapping to be successful.

Mutually exclusive with COLUMNS\_TO\_SKIP.

Definition at line 376 of file CreateTableExternal.cs.

◆ COLUMNS\_TO\_SKIP

const string kinetica.CreateTableExternalRequest.Options.COLUMNS\_TO\_SKIP = "columns\_to\_skip"

Supported values:

  • NONE: No compression.
  • AUTO: Auto detect compression type.
  • GZIP: gzip file compression.
  • BZIP2: bzip2 file compression.

The default value is AUTO.

Definition at line 416 of file CreateTableExternal.cs.

◆ DATALAKE\_CATALOG

const string kinetica.CreateTableExternalRequest.Options.DATALAKE\_CATALOG = "datalake\_catalog"
static

Name of an existing datalake(iceberg) catalog used in loading files.

Definition at line 468 of file CreateTableExternal.cs.

◆ DATALAKE\_PATH

const string kinetica.CreateTableExternalRequest.Options.DATALAKE\_PATH = "datalake\_path"
static

Definition at line 471 of file CreateTableExternal.cs.

◆ DATALAKE\_SNAPSHOT

const string kinetica.CreateTableExternalRequest.Options.DATALAKE\_SNAPSHOT = "datalake\_snapshot"
static

Snapshot ID of datalake(iceberg) object.

Definition at line 474 of file CreateTableExternal.cs.

◆ DATASOURCE\_NAME

const string kinetica.CreateTableExternalRequest.Options.DATASOURCE\_NAME = "datasource\_name"
static

Name of an existing external data source from which data file(s) specified in CreateTableExternalRequest.filepaths will be loaded.

Definition at line 434 of file CreateTableExternal.cs.

◆ DEFAULT\_COLUMN\_FORMATS

const string kinetica.CreateTableExternalRequest.Options.DEFAULT\_COLUMN\_FORMATS = "default\_column\_formats"
static

Specifies the default format to be applied to source data loaded into columns with the corresponding column property.

Currently supported column properties include date, time, and datetime. This default column-property-bound format can be overridden by specifying a column property and format for a given target column in COLUMN\_FORMATS. For each specified annotation, the format will apply to all columns with that annotation unless a custom COLUMN\_FORMATS for that annotation is specified.

The parameter value must be formatted as a JSON string that is a map of column properties to their respective column formats, e.g., '{"{"} "date" : "%Y.%m.%d", "time" : "%H:%M:%S" {"}"}'. Column formats are specified as a string of control characters and plain text. The supported control characters are 'Y', 'm', 'd', 'H', 'M', 'S', and 's', which follow the Linux 'strptime()' specification, as well as 's', which specifies seconds and fractional seconds (though the fractional component will be truncated past milliseconds).

Formats for the 'date' annotation must include the 'Y', 'm', and 'd' control characters. Formats for the 'time' annotation must include the 'H', 'M', and either 'S' or 's' (but not both) control characters. Formats for the 'datetime' annotation meet both the 'date' and 'time' control character requirements. For example, '{"{"}"datetime" : "%m/%d/%Y %H:%M:%S" {"}"}' would be used to interpret text as "05/04/2000 12:12:11".

Definition at line 464 of file CreateTableExternal.cs.

◆ DELIMITED\_TEXT

const string kinetica.CreateTableExternalRequest.Options.DELIMITED\_TEXT = "delimited\_text"
static

Delimited text file format; e.g., CSV, TSV, PSV, etc.

Definition at line 609 of file CreateTableExternal.cs.

◆ DISTRIBUTED\_LOCAL

const string kinetica.CreateTableExternalRequest.Options.DISTRIBUTED\_LOCAL = "distributed\_local"
static

A single worker process on each node loads all files that are available to it.

This option works best when each worker loads files from its own file system, to maximize performance. In order to avoid data duplication, either each worker performing the load needs to have visibility to a set of files unique to it (no file is visible to more than one node) or the target table needs to have a primary key (which will allow the worker to automatically deduplicate data).

NOTE:

If the target table doesn't exist, the table structure will be determined by the head node. If the head node has no files local to it, it will be unable to determine the structure and the request will fail.

If the head node is configured to have no worker processes, no data strictly accessible to the head node will be loaded.

Definition at line 920 of file CreateTableExternal.cs.

◆ DISTRIBUTED\_SHARED

const string kinetica.CreateTableExternalRequest.Options.DISTRIBUTED\_SHARED = "distributed\_shared"
static

The head node coordinates loading data by worker processes across all nodes from shared files available to all workers.

NOTE:

Instead of existing on a shared source, the files can be duplicated on a source local to each host to improve performance, though the files must appear as the same data set from the perspective of all hosts performing the load.

Definition at line 901 of file CreateTableExternal.cs.

◆ DRY\_RUN

const string kinetica.CreateTableExternalRequest.Options.DRY\_RUN = "dry\_run"
static

Does not load data, but walks through the source data and determines the number of valid records, taking into account the current mode of ERROR\_HANDLING.

Definition at line 749 of file CreateTableExternal.cs.

◆ EARLIEST

const string kinetica.CreateTableExternalRequest.Options.EARLIEST = "earliest"
static

A constant for the CreateTableExternalRequest.Options options.

Definition at line 793 of file CreateTableExternal.cs.

◆ ENABLE\_INPLACE\_UPDATES

const string kinetica.CreateTableExternalRequest.Options.ENABLE\_INPLACE\_UPDATES = "enable\_inplace\_updates"
static

Applies only when upserting (when update\_on\_existing\_pk is true).

If set to true (the default), an existing record matched by primary key is modified in place. If set to false, the matched record is updated by deleting it and inserting a replacement (delete and insert), which prevents the change from being reflected in dependent materialized views until they are refreshed. Supported values:

The default value is TRUE.

Definition at line 1356 of file CreateTableExternal.cs.

◆ ERROR\_HANDLING

const string kinetica.CreateTableExternalRequest.Options.ERROR\_HANDLING = "error\_handling"
static

Specifies how errors should be handled upon insertion.

Supported values:

  • PERMISSIVE: Records with missing columns are populated with nulls if possible; otherwise, the malformed records are skipped.
  • IGNORE\_BAD\_RECORDS: Malformed records are skipped.
  • ABORT: Stops current insertion and aborts entire operation when an error is encountered. Primary key collisions are considered abortable errors in this mode.

The default value is ABORT.

Definition at line 507 of file CreateTableExternal.cs.

◆ EXTERNAL\_TABLE\_TYPE

const string kinetica.CreateTableExternalRequest.Options.EXTERNAL\_TABLE\_TYPE = "external\_table\_type"
static

Specifies whether the external table holds a local copy of the external data.

Supported values:

  • MATERIALIZED: Loads a copy of the external data into the database, refreshed on demand.
  • LOGICAL: External data will not be loaded into the database; the data will be retrieved from the source upon servicing each query against the external table.

The default value is MATERIALIZED.

Definition at line 546 of file CreateTableExternal.cs.

◆ FALSE

const string kinetica.CreateTableExternalRequest.Options.FALSE = "false"
static

A boolean constant for the CreateTableExternalRequest.Options options.

Definition at line 652 of file CreateTableExternal.cs.

◆ FILE\_TYPE

◆ LOADING\_MODE

const string kinetica.CreateTableExternalRequest.Options.LOADING\_MODE = "loading\_mode"
static

Scheme for distributing the extraction and loading of data from the source data file(s).

This option applies only when loading files that are local to the database. Supported values:

  • HEAD: The head node loads all data. All files must be available to the head node.
  • DISTRIBUTED\_SHARED: The head node coordinates loading data by worker processes across all nodes from shared files available to all workers. NOTE: Instead of existing on a shared source, the files can be duplicated on a source local to each host to improve performance, though the files must appear as the same data set from the perspective of all hosts performing the load.
  • DISTRIBUTED\_LOCAL: A single worker process on each node loads all files that are available to it. This option works best when each worker loads files from its own file system, to maximize performance. In order to avoid data duplication, either each worker performing the load needs to have visibility to a set of files unique to it (no file is visible to more than one node) or the target table needs to have a primary key (which will allow the worker to automatically deduplicate data). NOTE: If the target table doesn't exist, the table structure will be determined by the head node. If the head node has no files local to it, it will be unable to determine the structure and the request will fail. If the head node is configured to have no worker processes, no data strictly accessible to the head node will be loaded.

The default value is HEAD.
