Processing Hierarchical Data in Streaming Mappings

Processing Hierarchical Data in Streaming Mappings

Data objects in a streaming mapping can process hierarchical data through complex data types. If the source contains hierarchical data, you must enable the read data operation to project columns as complex data types.
The following are the complex data types:
  • Array. An array is an ordered collection of elements.
  • Map. A map is an unordered collection of key-value pair elements.
  • Struct. A struct is a collection of elements of different data types.
The following table shows the format and complex data types that sources in a streaming mapping support:
