When you import a complex file, such as Avro or Parquet, the imported object includes metadata associated with the distribution in the Hadoop environment. If the file resides on the Developer tool machine, the import process picks up the distribution information from the

developerCore.ini

file. You must edit the

developerCore.ini

file to point to the distribution directory on the Developer tool machine.

You can find

developerCore.ini

in the following directory:

<Informatica installation directory>\clients\DeveloperClient

Add the following property:

-DINFA_HADOOP_DIST_DIR=hadoop\<distribution>_<version>

The change takes effect when you restart the Developer tool.
