Use the Source tab to specify the location of the source data and its related schema. The schema that defines the Avro data is either embedded or in a different location.
Use Format to select from one of the following formats:
- Avro file
- The source material is in a single location. The schema is embedded with the data.
- JSON datum
- The source material is in different locations. The data is contained in a JSON format, and the schema is separate from the data.
- Binary datum
- The source material is in different locations. The data is contained in a binary format, and the schema is separate from the data.
- Avro file (use alternate schema)
- The source material is in different locations. The schema is separate from the data.
The options presented in the Source tab depend on whether the schema is embedded with or separate from the data.
