Spark Advanced Properties

Spark advanced properties are a list of advanced or custom properties that are unique to the Spark engine. Each property contains a name and a value. You can add or edit advanced properties. Each property contains a name and a value. You can add or edit advanced properties.

Configure the following properties in the

Advanced Properties

of the Spark configuration section:

To edit the property in the text box, use the following format with &: to separate each name-value pair:

<name1>=<value1>[&:<name2>=<value2>…&:<nameN>=<valueN>]

infasjs.env.spark.context-settings.passthrough.spark.dynamicAllocation.executorIdleTimeout: Maximum time that an Spark Jobserver executor node can be idle before it is removed. Increase the value to assist in debugging data preview jobs that use the Spark engine.
You can specify the time in seconds, minutes, or hours using the suffix s
, m
, or h
, respectively. If you do not specify a time unit, the property uses milliseconds.

If you disable dynamic resource allocation, this property is not used.

Default is 120s.

infasjs.env.spark.jobserver.max-jobs-per-context: Maximum number of Spark jobs that can run simultaneously on a Spark context. If you increase the value of this property, you might need to allocate more resources by increasing spark.executor.cores and spark.executor.memory.
Default is 10.

infasjs.env.spark.jobserver.sparkJobTimeoutInMinutes: Maximum time in minutes that a Spark job can run on a Spark context before the Spark Jobserver cancels the job. Increase the value to assist in debugging data preview jobs that use the Spark engine.
Default is 15.

infaspark.class.log.level.map: Logging level for specific classes in the Spark driver or executor. When you configure this property, it overrides the tracing level you set for the mapping.
Set the value of this property to a JSON string in the following format: {"<fully qualified class name":"<log level>"}

Join multiple class logging level statements with a comma. You can use the following logging levels: FATAL, WARN, INFO, DEBUG, ALL.

For example, set to:

infaspark.executor.log.level: Logging level for the Spark executor logs. When you configure this property, it overrides the tracing level you set for the mapping.
Set the value to one of the following levels: FATAL, WARN, INFO, DEBUG, ALL.

infaspark.flatfile.writer.nullValue: When the Databricks Spark engine writes to a target, it converts null values to empty strings (" "). For example, 12, AB,"",23p09udj.; The Databricks Spark engine can write the empty strings to string columns, but when it tries to write an empty string to a non-string column, the mapping fails with a type mismatch.
To allow the Databricks Spark engine to convert the empty strings back to null values and write to the target, configure the property in the Databricks Spark connection.

Set to: TRUE

infaspark.json.parser.mode: Specifies the parser how to handle corrupt JSON records. You can set the value to one of the following modes:

DROPMALFORMED. The parser ignores all corrupted records. Default mode.
