This is a tool to convert a nested dataset to an unnested dataset. The source and/or
destination can be the local file system or HDFS.
Structs get converted to a column (with a long name). Arrays and Maps get converted to
a table which can be joined with the parent table on id column.
$ mvn exec:java \
-Dexec.mainClass=org.apache.impala.infra.tableflattener.Main \
-Dexec.arguments="file:///tmp/in.parquet,file:///tmp/out,-sfile:///tmp/in.avsc"
$ mvn exec:java \
-Dexec.mainClass=org.apache.impala.infra.tableflattener.Main \
-Dexec.arguments="hdfs://localhost:20500/nested.avro,file://$PWD/unnested"
There are various options to specify the type of input file but the output is always
parquet/snappy.
For additional help, use the following command:
$ mvn exec:java \
-Dexec.mainClass=org.apache.impala.infra.tableflattener.Main -Dexec.arguments="--help"
