Sink Common Options

Common parameters of sink connectors

:::caution warn

The old configuration name source_table_name is deprecated, please migrate to the new name plugin_input as soon as possible.

:::

Name	Type	Required	Default	Description
plugin_input	String	No	-	When plugin_input is not specified, the current plug-in processes the data set dataset output by the previous plugin in the configuration file When plugin_input is specified, the current plug-in is processing the data set corresponding to this parameter.

Important note

When the job configuration plugin_input you must set the plugin_output parameter

Task Example

Simple

This is the process of passing a data source through two transforms and returning two different pipiles to different sinks

source {
    FakeSourceStream {
      parallelism = 2
      plugin_output = "fake"
      field_name = "name,age"
    }
}

transform {
    Filter {
      plugin_input = "fake"
      fields = [name]
      plugin_output = "fake_name"
    }
    Filter {
      plugin_input = "fake"
      fields = [age]
      plugin_output = "fake_age"
    }
}

sink {
    Console {
      plugin_input = "fake_name"
    }
    Console {
      plugin_input = "fake_age"
    }
}

If the job only have one source and one(or zero) transform and one sink, You do not need to specify plugin_input and plugin_output for connector. If the number of any operator in source, transform and sink is greater than 1, you must specify the plugin_input and plugin_output for each connector in the job.
