Database Dependency

If you use spark/flink, In order to use this connector, You must ensure your spark/flink cluster already integrated hadoop. The tested hadoop version is 2.x.

If you use SeaTunnel Engine, It automatically integrated the hadoop jar when you download and install SeaTunnel Engine. You can check the jar package under ${SEATUNNEL_HOME}/lib to confirm this. To use this connector you need put hadoop-aws-3.1.4.jar and aws-java-sdk-bundle-1.11.271.jar in ${SEATUNNEL_HOME}/lib dir.

Data Type Mapping

If write to csv, text file type, All column will be string.

hadoop_s3_propertiesmapnoIf you need to add a other option, you could add it here and refer to this link

hadoop_s3_properties [map]

If you need to add a other option, you could add it here and refer to this link

hadoop_s3_properties {
"fs.s3a.buffer.dir" = "/data/st_test/s3a"
"fs.s3a.fast.upload.buffer" = "disk"
}

custom_filename [boolean]

Whether custom the filename

file_name_expression [string]

Only used when custom_filename is true

file_name_expression describes the file expression which will be created into the path. We can add the variable ${now} or ${uuid} in the file_name_expression, like test_${uuid}_${now}, ${now} represents the current time, and its format can be defined by specifying the option filename_time_format.

Please note that, If is_enable_transaction is true, we will auto add ${transactionId}_ in the head of the file.

filename_time_format [string]

Only used when custom_filename is true

When the format in the file_name_expression parameter is xxxx-${now} , filename_time_format can specify the time format of the path, and the default value is yyyy.MM.dd . The commonly used time formats are listed as follows:

SymbolDescription
yYear
MMonth
dDay of month
HHour in day (0-23)
mMinute in hour
sSecond in minute

file_format_type [string]

We supported as the following file types:

text json csv orc parquet excel

Please note that, The final file name will end with the file_format_type's suffix, the suffix of the text file is txt.

field_delimiter [string]

The separator between columns in a row of data. Only needed by text file format.

row_delimiter [string]

The separator between rows in a file. Only needed by text file format.

have_partition [boolean]

Whether you need processing partitions.

partition_by [array]

Only used when have_partition is true.

Partition data based on selected fields.

partition_dir_expression [string]

Only used when have_partition is true.

If the partition_by is specified, we will generate the corresponding partition directory based on the partition information, and the final file will be placed in the partition directory.

Default partition_dir_expression is ${k0}=${v0}/${k1}=${v1}/.../${kn}=${vn}/. k0 is the first partition field and v0 is the value of the first partition field.

is_partition_field_write_in_file [boolean]

Only used when have_partition is true.

If is_partition_field_write_in_file is true, the partition field and the value of it will be write into data file.

For example, if you want to write a Hive Data File, Its value should be false.

sink_columns [array]

Which columns need be written to file, default value is all the columns get from Transform or Source. The order of the fields determines the order in which the file is actually written.

is_enable_transaction [boolean]

If is_enable_transaction is true, we will ensure that data will not be lost or duplicated when it is written to the target directory.

Please note that, If is_enable_transaction is true, we will auto add ${transactionId}_ in the head of the file.

Only support true now.

batch_size [int]

The maximum number of rows in a file. For SeaTunnel Engine, the number of lines in the file is determined by batch_size and checkpoint.interval jointly decide. If the value of checkpoint.interval is large enough, sink writer will write rows in a file until the rows in the file larger than batch_size. If checkpoint.interval is small, the sink writer will create a new file when a new checkpoint trigger.

compress_codec [string]

The compress codec of files and the details that supported as the following shown:

  • txt: lzo none
  • json: lzo none
  • csv: lzo none
  • orc: lzo snappy lz4 zlib none
  • parquet: lzo snappy lz4 gzip brotli zstd none

Tips: excel type does not support any compression format

common options

Sink plugin common parameters, please refer to Sink Common Options for details.

max_rows_in_memory [int]

When File Format is Excel,The maximum number of data items that can be cached in the memory.

sheet_name [string]

Writer the sheet of the workbook

Example

Simple:

This example defines a SeaTunnel synchronization task that automatically generates data through FakeSource and sends it to S3File Sink. FakeSource generates a total of 16 rows of data (row.num=16), with each row having two fields, name (string type) and age (int type). The final target s3 dir will also create a file and all of the data in write in it. Before run this job, you need create s3 path: /seatunnel/text. And if you have not yet installed and deployed SeaTunnel, you need to follow the instructions in Install SeaTunnel to install and deploy SeaTunnel. And then follow the instructions in Quick Start With SeaTunnel Engine to run this job.
