File Appender Sink
- Robin Rielley
The File Appender sink is available in the Hub.
Writes to a CDAP FileSet in text format. HDFS append must be enabled for this to work. One line is written for each record sent to the sink. All record fields are joined using a configurable separator. Each time a batch is written, the sink will examine all existing files in the output directory. If there are any files that are smaller in size than the size threshold, or more recent than the age threshold, new data will be appended to those files instead of written to new files.
