You create a mass ingestion specification in the Mass Ingestion tool. The Mass Ingestion Service validates and connects to the Model Repository Service to store the specification in a Model repository.

After you create the specification, you can migrate the specification between Model repositories.

You deploy the mass ingestion specification to a Data Integration Service and specify a Hadoop connection. The Mass Ingestion Service processes and deploys the specification to the Data Integration Service.

You can also deploy the mass ingestion specification to an application archive file to save the information about the specification as an application. If you deploy the specification to an application archive file, you can import the application to the Model repository and deploy the application to a Data Integration Service.

The Mass Ingestion Service generates ingestion job statistics. You can monitor the statistics in the Mass Ingestion tool or in the Administrator tool.
