Converting relational input into hierarchical output using Microsoft Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 Connector

Add a Java transformation

The JSON output generated by the Hierarchy Builder transformation contains data of the string data type. You must use the Java transformation to convert the string data to binary format before you upload data to Microsoft Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2.

A Java transformation has incoming fields and output fields. Use incoming and output fields as variables in the Java code snippets that you define on the Java
tab. Incoming fields appear on the Incoming Fields
tab. By default, the Java transformation inherits all incoming fields from the upstream transformation.

Add a Java transformation to the mapping.

On the General
tab, enter a name and description for the Java transformation.

On the Incoming Fields
tab, you can view the incoming fields from the Hierarchy Builder transformation of string data type

On the Output Fields
tab, add output fields for the output data that you want to pass to the downstream transformation.

Click Add Field.

Enter a name for the field.

In the Type
field, select Binary
.

Specify the precision, and click OK
.

On the Java
tab, enter the Java code snippet in the On Input Row
section in the following format:

<output field>=<input field>.getBytes();
generateRow();

For example,

Data=Output.getBytes();
generateRow();

The following image shows the Java code snippet in the Java editor:
