Effective in version 10.2.1, you can create a Mass Ingestion Service. The Mass Ingestion Service is an application service in the Informatica domain that manages mass ingestion specifications. You configure the mass ingestion specifications in the Mass Ingestion tool to ingest large amounts of data from a relational source to a Hive or HDFS target.

To manage mass ingestion specifications, the Mass Ingestion Service performs the following tasks:

Manages and validates a mass ingestion specification.
Schedules a mass ingestion job to run on a Data integration Service.
Monitors the results and statistics of a mass ingestion job.
Restarts a mass ingestion job.

For more information on the Mass Ingestion Service, see the "Mass Ingestion Service" chapter in the
