RedshiftDataNode
Defines a data node using Amazon Redshift. RedshiftDataNode represents the properties of the data inside a database, such as a data table, used by your pipeline.
Example
The following is an example of this object type.
{ "id" : "MyRedshiftDataNode", "type" : "RedshiftDataNode",
"database": { "ref": "MyRedshiftDatabase" }, "tableName": "adEvents",
"schedule": { "ref": "Hour" } }
RedshiftDataNode
Syntax
Required Fields Description Slot Type
database The database on which the table resides. Reference Object, e.g. "database":
{"ref":"myRedshiftDatabaseId"}
tableName The name of the Amazon Redshift table. The table is created if it doesn't already exist and you've provided createTableSql.
String
Object Invocation
Fields Description Slot Type
schedule This object is invoked within the execution of a schedule interval. Users must specify a schedule reference to another object to set the dependency execution order for this object. Users can satisfy this requirement by explicitly setting a schedule on the object, for example, by specifying
"schedule": {"ref": "DefaultSchedule"}. In most cases, it is better to put the schedule reference on the default pipeline object so that all objects inherit that schedule. Or, if the pipeline has a tree of schedules (schedules within the master schedule), users can create a parent object that has a schedule reference. For more information about example optional schedule configurations, see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/datapipeline/
latest/DeveloperGuide/dp-object-schedule.html
Reference Object, e.g. "schedule":
{"ref":"myScheduleId"}
Optional Fields Description Slot Type
attemptStatus Most recently reported status from the remote
activity. String
attemptTimeout Timeout for remote work completion. If set then a remote activity that does not complete within the set time of starting may be retried.
Period
createTableSql An SQL expression to create the table in the database. We recommend that you specify the schema where the table should be created, for example: CREATE TABLE mySchema.myTable (bestColumn varchar(25) primary key distkey, numberOfWins integer sortKey). AWS Data Pipeline runs the script in the createTableSql field if the table, specified by tableName, does not exist in the schema, specified by the schemaName field. For example, if you specify schemaName as mySchema but do not include mySchema in the
String
RedshiftDataNode
Optional Fields Description Slot Type
createTableSql field, the table is created in the wrong schema (by default, it would be created in PUBLIC). This occurs because AWS Data Pipeline does not parse your CREATE TABLE statements.
dependsOn Specify dependency on another runnable object Reference Object, e.g. "dependsOn":
{"ref":"myActivityId"}
failureAndRerunMode Describes consumer node behavior when
dependencies fail or are rerun Enumeration
lateAfterTimeout The elapsed time after pipeline start within which the object must complete. It is triggered only when the schedule type is not set to ondemand.
Period
maxActiveInstances The maximum number of concurrent active instances of a component. Re-runs do not count toward the number of active instances.
Integer
maximumRetries The maximum number attempt retries on failure. Integer
onFail An action to run when current object fails. Reference Object, e.g. "onFail":
{"ref":"myActionId"}
onLateAction Actions that should be triggered if an object has
not yet been scheduled or still not completed. Reference Object, e.g. "onLateAction":
{"ref":"myActionId"}
onSuccess An action to run when current object succeeds. Reference Object, e.g. "onSuccess":
{"ref":"myActionId"}
parent Parent of the current object from which slots will
be inherited. Reference Object,
e.g. "parent":
{"ref":"myBaseObjectId"}
pipelineLogUri The S3 URI (such as 's3://BucketName/Key/') for
uploading logs for the pipeline. String precondition Optionally define a precondition. A data node is
not marked "READY" until all preconditions have been met.
Reference Object, e.g. "precondition":
{"ref":"myPreconditionId"}
primaryKeys If you do not specify primaryKeys for a
destination table in RedShiftCopyActivity, you can specify a list of columns using
primaryKeys which will act as a mergeKey.
However, if you have an existing primaryKey defined in an Amazon Redshift table, this setting overrides the existing key.
String
reportProgressTimeout Timeout for remote work successive calls to reportProgress. If set, then remote activities that do not report progress for the specified period may be considered stalled and so retried.
Period
RedshiftDataNode
Optional Fields Description Slot Type
retryDelay The timeout duration between two retry
attempts. Period
runsOn The computational resource to run the activity or command. For example, an Amazon EC2 instance or Amazon EMR cluster.
Reference Object, e.g. "runsOn":
{"ref":"myResourceId"}
scheduleType Schedule type allows you to specify whether the objects in your pipeline definition should be scheduled at the beginning of interval or end of the interval. Time Series Style Scheduling means instances are scheduled at the end of each interval and Cron Style Scheduling means instances are scheduled at the beginning of each interval. An on-demand schedule allows you to run a pipeline one time per activation. This means you do not have to clone or re-create the pipeline to run it again. If you use an on-demand schedule it must be specified in the default object and must be the only scheduleType specified for objects in the pipeline. To use on-demand pipelines, you simply call the ActivatePipeline operation for each subsequent run. Values are: cron, ondemand, and timeseries.
Enumeration
schemaName This optional field specifies the name of the schema for the Amazon Redshift table. If not specified, the schema name is PUBLIC, which is the default schema in Amazon Redshift. For more information, see the Amazon Redshift Database Developer Guide.

S3DataNode
Defines a data node using Amazon S3. By default, the S3DataNode uses server-side encryption. If you would like to disable this, set s3EncryptionType to NONE.
Note
When you use an S3DataNode as input to CopyActivity, only the CSV and TSV data formats are supported.
