The mapping run-time properties depend on the environment that you select for the mapping.
The mapping properties contains the
Validation Environments
area and an
Execution Environment
area. The properties in the
Validation Environment
indicate whether the Developer tool validates the mapping definition for the native execution environment, the Hadoop execution environment, or both. When you run a mapping in the native environment, the Data Integration Service processes the mapping.
When you run a mapping in the Hadoop environment, the Data Integration Service pushes the mapping execution to the Hadoop cluster through a Hadoop connection. The Hadoop cluster processes the mapping.
