Table 2. tableLookupConfig
Parameter Description

pb.bdq.job.name Name of the job. Default is TableLookupSample.
pb.bdq.dnm.tablelookup.configuration Json string for defining table lookup configuration. It specifies details, such as type of action to be taken on source field, the field containing the term you want to look up, and the table you want to use to find terms that match the data in your dataflow.
pb.bdq.reference.data The path where you have placed the reference data. For example, {"referenceDataPathLocation" :"LocaltoDataNodes","dataDir": "/home/data/referenceData"}
Table 3. tableLookupConfigHDFSRefData(DataDownloader)
Parameter Description
pb.bdq.job.type This is a constant value that defines the job. The value for this job is: TableLookup.
pb.bdq.job.name Name of the job. Default is TableLookupSample.
pb.bdq.dnm.tablelookup.configuration Json string for defining table lookup configuration. It specifies details, such as type of action to be taken on source field, the field containing the term you want to look up, and the table you want to use to find terms that match the data in your dataflow.
pb.bdq.reference.data Path of reference data on HDFS and the data downloader path. For example, {"referenceDataPathLocation":"HDFS", "dataDir":"/home/data/dm/referenceData", "dataDownloader":{"dataDownloader":"HDFS", "localFSRepository":"/local/download"}}
Table 4. tableLookupConfigDistributedCache
Parameter Description

Table 5. mapReduceConfig
Specifies the MapReduce configuration parameters
Use this file to customize MapReduce parameters, such as mapreduce.map.memory.mb, mapreduce.reduce.memory.mb and mapreduce.map.speculative, as needed for your job.
Table 6. OutputFileConfig
Parameter Description
pb.bdq.output.type Specify if the output is in: file, TEXT, or ORC format.
pb.bdq.outputfile.path The path where you want the output file to be generated on HDFS. For example, /user/hduser/sampledata/tablelookup/output.
pb.bdq.outputformat.field.delimiter Field or column delimiter in the output file, such as comma (,) or tab.
pb.bdq.output.overwrite For a true value, the output folder is overwritten every time job is run.
pb.bdq.outputformat.headerfile.create Specify true, if the output file needs to have a header.
