Paul Rogers updated DRILL-7279:
-------------------------------
Description:
Extend the Drill 1.16 provided schema support for the text reader to allow a
provided schema for files without headers. Behavior:
* If the file is configured to not extract headers, and a schema is provided,
and the schema has at least one column, then use the provided schema to create
individual columns. Otherwise, continue to use {{columns}} as in previous
versions.
* The columns in the schema are assumed to match left-to-right with those in
the file.
* If the schema contains more columns than the file, the extra columns take
their default values. (This occurs in schema evolution when a column is added
to newer files.)
* If the file contains more columns than the schema, then the extra columns, at
the end of the line, are ignored. This is the same behavior as occurs if the
file contains headers.
h4. Table Properties
Also adds four table properties for text files. These properties, if present,
override those defined in the format plugin configuration. The properties allow
the user to have a single "csv" config, but to have many tables with the "csv"
suffix, each with different properties. That is, the user need not define a new
plugin config, and define a new extension, just to change a file format
property. With this system, the user can have a ".csv" file with headers; the
user need not define a different suffix (usually ".csvh" in Drill) for this
case.
|| Table Property || Equivalent Plugin Config Property ||
| {{drill.headers}} | {{extractHeader}} |
| {{drill.skipFirstLine}} | {{skipFirstLine}} |
| {{drill.delimiter}} | {{fieldDelimiter}} |
| {{drill.commentChar}} | {{comment}}|
For each, the rules are:
* If the table property is not set, then the plugin property is used.
* If the table property is set, then the property value replaces the plugin
property value for that one specific table.
* For the delimiter, if the property value is an empty string, then this is the
same as an unset property.
* For the comment, if the property value is an empty string, then the comment
is set to the ASCII NULL, which will never match. This effectively turns off
the comment feature for this one table.
* If the delimiter or comment value is longer than a single character, only the
first character is used.
