General Information about Custom Properties
INFO
A custom property consists of a name (key) and a value pair, separated by a "=".
Example: 'das.job.health.check=true'
List of DAS Properties
INFO
Set up the custom properties in the '/conf' folder within your Datameer X instance.
- execution related properties - define parameters for a job that Datameer X sends to the cluster, e.g. container memory, split size.
- conductor related properties - define the application behavior, e.g. proxy settings, preview size, thread pool.
| Name | Default Value | Description |

Execution Related Properties | ||
| das.io.compression.codecs.addition | datameer.dap.common.util.ZipCodec | Additional compression codecs that are added to io.compression.codecs |
| das.error.log.max-entries | -1 (unlimited) | The maximum number of errors that should be written per MR task. |
| das.error.log.replication-factor | 1 | The replication factor for the error-logs which are getting written for dropped records. |
| das.join.deferred-file.memory-threshold | 52428800 (50MB) | Maximum size of memory which is used to cache values before falling back to file. This property is used in self joins and from the join strategies REDUCE_SIDE and PRE_SORT_MAP_SIDE. |
| das.join.map-side.memory.max-file-size | 15728640 (15MB) | Maximum size for the smaller join file of a join. Datameer X uses different join strategies. The fastest join strategy is when one input of the two fits into memory. This property marks the upper bound when a file, depending on its size, is assumed to fit into memory. Note that depending on compression and record-structure a 15 MB file on disk can easily blow up to 500 MB in memory. |
| das.join.disabled-strategies | empty | A comma separated list of Join strategies which should explicitly not be used. Available are MEMORY_BACKED_MAP_SIDE, REDUCE_SIDE and PRE_SORT_MAP_SIDE. |
| das.jdbc.import.transaction-isolation | TRANSACTION_READ_COMMITTED | The jdbc transaction-level which should be used for imports from database. You can choose between TRANSACTION_NONE, TRANSACTION_READ_UNCOMMITTED, TRANSACTION_READ_COMMITTED, TRANSACTION_REPEATABLE_READ and TRANSACTION_SERIALIZABLE which corresponds to the transaction-isolation levels from java.sql.Connection. |
| das.job.trigger.type | Tells who/what triggered a job. (USER, SCHEDULER, RESTAPI, IMPORTJOB, EXPORTJOB, WORKBOOK). | |
| das.job.hdfs.ownership | The name of the owner for each file and folder that will be created during a job run in HDFS. | |
| das.job.hdfs.groupname | The name of the group for each file and folder that will be created during a job run in HDFS. | |

| das.splitting.max-split-count | Datameer X merges multiple small files into combined splits and splits large files into multiple smaller splits. Setting this property can control the maximum number of splits that should be created. This is good to reduce the number of file handlers due to a lack of RPC resources. | |
| das.splitting.min-split-count | Sets the minimum number of splits that should be created. This could be used in increase the number of map-tasks for smaller jobs to better utilize the cluster. | |

| das.debug.periodic-thread-dumps-period | (-1=disabled, >0 enabled) | A thread dump is taken every x ms and logged to stdout (so it ends in the task-logs). |
| das.debug.periodic-counter-dumps-period | (-1=disabled, >0 enabled) | A hadoop-counter dump is taken every x ms and logged to stdout (so it ends in the task-logs). |
| das.sampling.lookahead.maxdepth | 5 | Smart sampling uses information from the downstream sheets in a workbook while sampling data for the preview of a sheet. This parameter sets the number of downstream levels which are considered. |

| das.aggregation.map-cache-size | ByteUnit.MB.toBytes(16) | Size of Cache for Map-Side Aggregation in bytes. Less than or equal to 0 means disable Map-Side Aggregation. |
| das.debug.job-metadata | enabled | Possible values are these from the enum JobMetaDataMode (ENABLED, DISABLED, DEFLATED) |
| das.debug.job.report-progress-interval | -1 | Interval in milliseconds a reporting thread will report progress to hadoop's tasktracker. If set to <= 0 no thread will be installed and progress is reported by mappers, reducers, readers, etc... as usual. |
| das.jobconf .cache-properties | Properties like " das.plugin-registry.conf,map-runnable,reducer,mapred.input.dir" | Properties are evacuated to the distributed cache. Evacuation means, before submitting the job, the properties are stripped out of the job-conf and written into one file in the distributed cache. On a task side, before any serious work happens, the properties are read from the distributed cache and added to the job-conf. Disable the whole mechanism by setting ' das.jobconf .cache-properties' to ''. |

| das.splitting.max-split-count | Datameer X merges multiple small files into combined splits and splits large files into multiple smaller splits. Setting this property can control the maximum number of splits that should be created. This is good to reduce the number of file handlers due to a lack of RPC resources. | |
| das.splitting.non-splittable-encodings | UTF-16, UTF-16BE, UTF-16LE | Lists the file encodings for which splitting is restricted to only file level. For example, a file with this kind of encoding is not split at the block level. |

Adding a Custom Property
INFO
Custom properties can be added to apply system-wide or to apply only for specific jobs.
Adding Custom Properties Applied to all Jobs
To add a system-wide custom property:
- Click on the "Admin" tab and select the menu tab "Hadoop Cluster". The overview page for the Hadoop Cluster configuration opens.
- Click on "Enter". The Hadoop Cluster configuration page opens.
- Enter the custom properties in the field "Custom Properties" and confirm with "Enter". The configuration is saved.
Adding Custom Properties Applied to Specific a Workbook Job
To add a workbook job specific custom property:
- Double-click the required workbook from the File Browser. The workbook opens.
- Select "File" and select "Configure". The workbook configuration page opens.
- Enter the required custom properties in the field "Custom Properties" and confirm with "Save". The workbook job configuration is saved.
Editing Custom Properties for Compressed Data
When importing compressed data, the requirements are different for settings custom properties than other custom properties.
To decompress data you're importing, all compression codec details need to be put within the conf/das-common.properties files.
This includes, for LZO compression:
io.compression.codecsio.compression.codec.lzo.classmapred.map.output.compression.codec
As a best practice, put all compression details in the properties files, and adjust their tuning parameters, if necessary, in the interface.
