DATASOURCE

Description

You specify the configuration parameters for a Greenplum Stream Server (GPSS) job in a YAML-formatted configuration file that you provide to the gpsscli submit command. There are two types of configuration parameters in this file - Greenplum Database connection parameters, and parameters specific to the data source from which you will load data into Greenplum.

This reference page uses the name gpsscli.yaml to refer to this file; you may choose your own name for the file.

Note: GPSS currently supports only the Kafka data source. Refer to the Greenplum-Kafka Integration Documentation for detailed information about using GPSS to load Kafka data into Greenplum Database.

The gpsscli utility processes the YAML configuration file in order, using indentation (spaces) to determine the document hierarchy and the relationships between the sections. The use of white space in the file is significant, and keywords are case-sensitive.
