About Custom Properties

Custom properties consist of a name (key) and value pair separated with a '='. These properties are used to configure Hadoop jobs.

DAS Properties

Name	Default Value	Description
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.big-decimal.precision	32	During data ingestion, /wiki/spaces/DAS60/pages/4620163738 of big integer and big decimal have the maximum precision rounded to this value.
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.expression.records.max	Integer.MAX_VALUE	Maximum array size that a function may return. If this value is exceeded the excess records are chopped off.
das.group-series-expression.records.max	-1	Maximum number of records a group series expression can generate.
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.job.map -task.memory	2048
das.job.reduce -task.memory	2048
das.job.app lication-manager.memory	2048
das.job.reduce .tasks	-1	{@link datameer.dap.sdk.util.HadoopConstants.MAPRED#REDUCE_TASKS} is calculated dynamically. If for any reason you want to enforce a specific reduce count, set this property to greater then zero.
das.job.reduce .tasks.correct	true	If the reducer count should be adapted based on the split-count (map-task count).
das.error.log.replication-factor	2	The replication factor for the error-logs which are getting written for dropped records.
das.splitting.map-wave-count	3	The map-wave-count to influence the number of map-task DAS uses for internal and for file-based import jobs.
das.splitting.map-slots.safety-factor	1	The number of map-slots which isn't used for the last map-wave in order to absorb node-failures.
das.splitting.disable-combining	false	Determines how splitting occurs. Setting the value to true ensures that a files are not split based on blocks.
das.splitting.disable-individual-file-splitting	false	Determines how splitting occurs for an individual file. Setting the value to true ensures that a single file isn't split based on its blocks.
das.splitting.max-rewind-count	1024 * 1024 * 10	For support of {@link MultipleSourceRecordParser}. Determines the number of bytes a middle-split is rewinded at the maximum in case the split doesn't start with a valid raw-record.
das.splitting.max-split-count		Datameer 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.

das.preview .generation.additional-records-ratio	0.2f	All tasks together will try to create a preview of maxPreviewSize*the-configured-ratio in order to balance tasks with less records.
das.preview .group-series-expression.records.max	100	Maximum number of records a group series expression can generate for a preview.
das.join.disabled-strategies
das.range-join.map-side.max-uncompressed-file-size	31457280	Max uncompressed file size the file can have that we attempt to load into memory for a map-side range join.
das.range-join.map-side.max-records	10000	Max number of records the file can have that we attempt to load into memory for a map-side range join.
das.range-join.reduce-side.max-reducers	-1	Max number of reducers to use for reduce-side range join implementation, -1 mean determine based on input sizing.
das.range-join.reduce-side.min-bytes-per-reducer	536870912	Minimum number of bytes each reducer should see, used by auto reducer count algorithm to help determine the number of reducers.
das.range-join.reduce-side.volume-weighting-factor	0.7	Factor to control weighting of the reducer data volume when determining the number of reducers for the reduce-side range join.
das.jdbc.imp ort.sql.badwords	commit, savepoint, rollback, set, checkpoint, grant, revoke, insert, update, delete, index, alter, create, lock, drop, truncate, ;, rename, comment, call, merge, explain, shutdown, show, describe, exec, go, declare	List of words that are not allowed in SQL entered by the user in SQL import. The string is broken up at the ',' and any spaces are part of the bad words. The string is parsed as a String[]. Examples of bad word sql follows: - select * from mytable; -- semicolon is invalid <br> - drop database dap -- drop is invalid<br> - create table ... -- create is invalid<br> - <p> - select "savepoint", * from table -- currently the bad words can't show up in column names or - data either This property should be updated on the `das-conductor.properties` file. After updating this property, restart Datameer.
das.jdbc.import.transaction-isolation	TRANSACTION_READ_COMMITTED	Sets a custom transaction isolation level for a JDBC connection to read data. Other possible values include TRANSACTION_NONE, TRANSACTION_READ_UNCOMMITED, TRANSACTION_REPEATABLE_READ, and TRANSACTION_SERIALIZABLE.

das.import .whole-text-file.max-size	ByteUnit.MB.toBytes(4)	Max size in bytes to read when importing/uploading an HTML file.
das.compute.column-metrics	true	Whether or not column metrics should be computed (Column metrics are a requirement for the flipside of a sheet).

Hadoop Properties

Name	Default Value	Description
fs.AbstractFileSystem.hdfs.impl	org.apache.hadoop.fs.Hdfs	Property is required for successfully starting yarn application as these properties are stripped out while setting up the overlay by DAS framework.
io.compression.codecs.addition	datameer.dap.common.util.ZipCodec,datameer.dap.common.util.LzwCodec	Property is required for successfully starting yarn application as these properties are stripped out while setting up the overlay by DAS framework. Additional comma=separated compression codecs that are added to io.compression.codecs
das.yarn.available-node-vcores	auto	This property sets the number of available node vcores and is used in order to calculate the optimal number of splits and tasks (numberOfNodes * das.yarn.available-node-vcores). It can be set either to the number of free CPUs per node, or it can be set to auto. In auto mode, Datameer fetches information about the vCores from every node and sets das.yarn.available-node-vcores to the average of the available vCores.

Adding Custom Properties

Adding custom properties applied to all jobs

Custom properties can be added in the Admin tab under Hadoop Cluster. Custom properties added under the Hadoop cluster settings are applied system-wide.

Click Edit.
Enter the Hadoop property.
Adjust the value.
Click Save.

Adding custom properties applied to specific jobs

Custom properties can also be added to a workbook configuration. Custom properties added under the individual workbook settings will be applied only to that workbook.

Save a new workbook or configure an existing workbook.
In the Advanced section, enter the Hadoop property
Adjust the value.
Click Save.

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.codecs
io.compression.codec.lzo.class
mapred.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.
