ORC Writer

This Node Is Deprecated — This version of the node has been replaced with a new and improved version. The old version is kept for backwards-compatibility, but for all new workflows we suggest to use the version linked below.

This node writes the KNIME data table into an ORC file. The ORC file can be written locally or on a remote file system.

For remote connections, the writer stores chunks locally and uploads them in parallel into a folder with the given name. The chunks size and the number of chunks that are allowed on local disc, are configurable in the "Chunk Upload" tab which is only enabled for remote file systems.

Options

Output location: A path on the local machine or remote server where the file is written.
Overwrite: If this option is selected the file will be overwritten if it exists
Check directory content: Enabled when using a remote connection and enabling the overwrite option. With this option enabled the node will fail if the content of the directory contains files that do not fit the file format suffix
File Compression: The compression codec used to write the ORC file.

Chunk Upload

Chunk size in rows: The maximum size for an individual chunk.
Number of local chunks: The number of chunks that can be stored temporarily on disc, while the next chunk is written.

Output Type Mapping

Change the KNIME to ORC type mapping configuration for subsequent nodes by selecting a ORC type to the given KNIME Type. The dialog allows you to add new or change existing type mapping rules.

Mapping by Name: Columns that match the given name (or regular expression) and KNIME type will be mapped to the specified ORC type.
Mapping by Type: Columns that match the given KNIME type will be mapped to the specified ORC type.
