Complex File Targets on Azure Blob

Complex File Targets on Azure Blob

You can use a PowerExchange for HDFS or a PowerExchange for Microsoft Azure Blob Storage connection to write data to Azure Blob data objects.
The following table shows the complex files that a mapping can process within Azure Blob storage in the Hadoop environment:
File Type
Supported Formats
Supported Engines
Avro
  • Flat
  • Hierarchical
    1
Spark
JSON
  • Flat
  • Hierarchical
    1
Spark
Parquet
  • Flat
  • Hierarchical
    1
Spark
1
To run on the Spark engine, the complex file write operation must be enabled to project columns as complex data type.
