Note: The table in the
Fields tab defines the following fields that make up the Avro
schema created by this step:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Avro path | The name of the field as it will appear in the Avro data and schema files. |
| Name | The name of the PDI field. |
| Avro type | Defines the Avro data type of the field. |
| Precision | Applies only to the Decimal Avro type, the total number of digits in the number. The default is 10. |
| Scale | Applies only to the Decimal Avro type, the number of digits after the decimal point. The default is 0. |
| Default value | The default value of the field if it is null or empty. |
| Null | Specify if the field can contain null values. |
Note: To avoid a transformation failure, make
sure the Default value field contains values for all fields where
Null is set to No.
Note: As shown in the table below, you can
click Get Fields to populate the fields from the incoming PDI stream or these fields
can be defined manually. During the retrieval of fields, a PDI type is converted to an
appropriate Avro type. If desired, you can change the converted field type to another Avro
type.
