Configuring the Match Rule Set

You can define one or more match rule sets in a matching rules file. A match rule set definition includes an index, one or more searches, and one or more matching rules. You can define a match rule set within the

MDMBDRMMatchRulesSet

section.

To define a match rule set, add the following parameters to the

MDMBDRMMatchRuleSet

section within the

MDMBDRMMatchRulesSet

section:

Id: Identifier for the match rule set.
Name: Name for the match rule set.
Population: Optional. Name of the population to use for the match process. If you want to include multiple populations for the match process, create additional match rule sets for the populations that you want to include.
Use the population file name without the extension as the parameter value. By default, the MapReduce jobs use the population that you specify in the configuration file.

The following sample shows the match rule set definitions for the Arabic and Chinese populations:
