Creating a Connection to Access Sources or Targets

Creating a Connection to Access Sources or Targets

Create an HBase, HDFS, Hive, or JDBC connection before you import data objects, preview data, and profile data.
  1. Click
    Window
    Preferences
    .

     list.
  4. Select the type of connection that you want to create:
    • To select an HBase connection, select
      NoSQL
      HBase
      .
    • To select an HDFS connection, select
      File Systems
      Hadoop File System
      .
    • To select a Hive connection, select
      Database
      Hive
      .
    • To select a JDBC connection, select

    Access Hive as a source or target
     option to use Hive as a source or a target. The
    Access Hive to run mappings in Hadoop cluster
     options is no more applicable. To use the Hive driver to run mappings in the Hadoop cluster, use a Hadoop connection.
