SMT that inserts date, year, month, day, hour, minute and second headers using the record timestamp. If the record timestamp is null, the SMT uses the current 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:
To store the epoch value, use the following configuration:
To prefix the headers with wallclock_, use the following:
To change the date format, use the following:
To use the timezone Asia/Kolkoata, use the following:
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.
and in the KCQL setting utilise the headers as partitioning keys:
