(Glue-2108) Remote File to HDFS

Extractor type Remote File to HDFS is used to transfer a file from a remote path to Hadoop HDFS.

To do so, you must follow a similar procedure as described in the chapter (Glue-2108) Local File to HDFS.

Fill in the following fields:

• Remote file path – path to the remote directory
• Remote file name – remote file name
• HDFS path – path in Hadoop HDFS filesystem where the file will be copied to
• HDFS filename – a name of the file after it is transferred
• RFC destination – RFC (Remote Function Call) which is used for the transfer

After the definition of the extractor, create a variant.

There are 2 ways how to trigger the data transfer: 

• Execute (in dialog) - execute the job directly
• Schedule (in the background). In the case of larger files, we recommend using this option.
