Redshift Bulk Loader

Description

The Redshift Bulk Loader transform loads data from Apache Hop to AWS Redshift using the COPY command.

make sure your target Redshift table has a layout that is compatible with Parquet data types, e.g. use int8 instead of int4 data types.

Main Options

Option Description

Option	Description
Stream to S3 CSV	write the current pipeline stream to a CSV file in an S3 bucket before performing the `COPY` load.
Load from existing file	do not stream the contents of the current pipeline, but perform the `COPY` load from a pre-existing file in S3. Suppoorted formats are `CSV` (comma delimited) and `Parquet`.
Copy into Redshift from existing file	path to the file in S3 to `COPY` load the data from.

Stream to S3 CSV

write the current pipeline stream to a CSV file in an S3 bucket before performing the COPY load.

Load from existing file

do not stream the contents of the current pipeline, but perform the COPY load from a pre-existing file in S3. Suppoorted formats are CSV (comma delimited) and Parquet.

Copy into Redshift from existing file

path to the file in S3 to COPY load the data from.

Database fields

Map the current stream fields to the Redshift table’s columns.
