Teradata Sink

The Teradata sink is available in the Hub.

Plugin version: 1.7.0

Writes records to a Teradata table. Each record will be written to a row in the table.

Use this sink when you need to write to a Teradata table. Suppose you periodically build a recommendation model for products on your online store. The model is stored in a FileSet and you want to export the contents of the FileSet to a Teradata table where it can be served to your users.

Column names would be autodetected from input schema.

Configuration

Example

Suppose you want to write output records to “users” table of Teradata database named “prod” that is running on “localhost”, port 1025, as “root” user with “root” password (Ensure that the driver for Teradata is installed. You can also provide driver name for some specific driver, otherwise “teradata” will be used), then configure the plugin with:
