Forward response to HDFS

Before sending data to HDFS, contact Devo customer support to validate the destination.

Using the destination object in a query request, you can have query responses forwarded to your organization's data storage services, including Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS)-type systems. 

To send your response to HDFS, include the destination object in your request and set type to hdfs like this:

"destination": {
 "type":"hdfs"
}

Parameters

With the destination.type set to hdfs, you need to specify some additional parameters specific to HDFS to identify where and how to save the data contained in the response:

ParameterDescription

fs.defaultFS

Specifies where the HDFS server is listening (for example, hdfs://172.16.1.17:8020).

full path

Specifies the path where the data will be written (for example, /tmp/devo/test_05).

file

Specifies the file to which the data will be saved. Data files have the following format: {file_name}_{node_name}.data

dfs.replication

Defines the default block replication factor. The actual number of replications can be specified when the file is created.
