InsertRollingRecordTimestampHeaders

Inserts date, year, month, day, hour, minute and second headers using the record timestamp and a rolling time window configuration. If the record timestamp is null, the SMT uses the system time.

The headers inserted are of type STRING. By using this SMT, you can partition the data by yyyy-MM-dd/HH or yyyy/MM/dd/HH, for example, and only use one SMT.

The list of headers inserted are:

• date

• year

• month

• day

• hour

• minute

• second

All headers can be prefixed with a custom prefix. For example, if the prefix is wallclock_, then the headers will be:

• wallclock_date

• wallclock_year

• wallclock_month

• wallclock_day

• wallclock_hour

• wallclock_minute

• wallclock_second

When used with the Lenses connectors for S3, GCS or Azure data lake, the headers can be used to partition the data. Considering the headers have been prefixed by _, here are a few KCQL examples:

connect.s3.kcql=INSERT INTO $bucket:prefix SELECT * FROM kafka_topic PARTITIONBY _header._date, _header._hour
connect.s3.kcql=INSERT INTO $bucket:prefix SELECT * FROM kafka_topic PARTITIONBY _header._year, _header._month, _header._day, _header._hour

Transform Type Class

io.lenses.connect.smt.header.InsertRollingRecordTimestampHeaders

Configuration

Name	Description	Type	Default	Importance
header.prefix.name	Optional header prefix.	String		Low
date.format	Optional Java date time formatter.	String	yyyy-MM-dd	Low
year.format	Optional Java date time formatter for the year component.	String	yyyy	Low
month.format	Optional Java date time formatter for the month component.	String	MM	Low
day.format	Optional Java date time formatter for the day component.	String	dd	Low
hour.format	Optional Java date time formatter for the hour component.	String	HH	Low
minute.format	Optional Java date time formatter for the minute component.	String	mm	Low
second.format	Optional Java date time formatter for the second component.	String	ss	Low
timezone	Optional. Sets the timezone. It can be any valid Java timezone.	String	UTC	Low
locale	Optional. Sets the locale. It can be any valid Java locale.	String	en	Low
rolling.window.type	Sets the window type. It can be fixed or rolling.	String	minutes	hours, minutes, seconds
rolling.window.size	Sets the window size. It can be any positive integer, and depending on the window.type it has an upper bound, 60 for seconds and minutes, and 24 for hours.	Int	15

Example

To store the epoch value, use the following configuration:

transforms=rollingWindow
transforms.rollingWindow.type=io.lenses.connect.smt.header.InsertRollingRecordTimestampHeaders
transforms.rollingWindow.rolling.window.type=minutes
transforms.rollingWindow.rolling.window.size=15

To prefix the headers with wallclock_, use the following:

transforms=rollingWindow
transforms.rollingWindow.type=io.lenses.connect.smt.header.InsertRollingRecordTimestampHeaders
transforms.rollingWindow.header.prefix.name=wallclock_
transforms.rollingWindow.rolling.window.type=minutes
transforms.rollingWindow.rolling.window.size=15

To change the date format, use the following:

transforms=rollingWindow
transforms.rollingWindow.type=io.lenses.connect.smt.header.InsertRollingRecordTimestampHeaders
transforms.rollingWindow.header.prefix.name=wallclock_
transforms.rollingWindow.rolling.window.type=minutes
transforms.rollingWindow.rolling.window.size=15
transforms.rollingWindow.date.format="date=yyyy-MM-dd"

To use the timezone Asia/Kolkoata, use the following:

transforms=rollingWindow
transforms.rollingWindow.type=io.lenses.connect.smt.header.InsertRollingRecordTimestampHeaders
transforms.rollingWindow.header.prefix.name=wallclock_
transforms.rollingWindow.rolling.window.type=minutes
transforms.rollingWindow.rolling.window.size=15
transforms.rollingWindow.timezone=Asia/Kolkata

To facilitate S3, GCS, or Azure Data Lake partitioning using a Hive-like partition name format, such as date=yyyy-MM-dd / hour=HH, employ the following SMT configuration for a partition strategy.

transforms=rollingWindow
transforms.rollingWindow.type=io.lenses.connect.smt.header.InsertRollingRecordTimestampHeaders
transforms.rollingWindow.rolling.window.type=minutes
transforms.rollingWindow.rolling.window.size=15
transforms.rollingWindow.timezone=Asia/Kolkata
transforms.rollingWindow.date.format="date=yyyy-MM-dd"
transforms.rollingWindow.hour.format="hour=yyyy"

and in the KCQL setting utilise the headers as partitioning keys:

connect.s3.kcql=INSERT INTO $bucket:prefix SELECT * FROM kafka_topic PARTITIONBY _header.date, _header.year
