Data Stream Input

Overview

The Data Stream Input transform reads rows from a configured Data Stream into a Hop pipeline.

It supports all available Data Stream implementations (Arrow File Stream, Arrow Random Access File, and Arrow Flight).

Options

Option Description

Data Stream

The name of the source Data Stream to read from. This is a dropdown that shows all defined Data Streams in the project.

Notes

  • The transform will automatically use the implementation defined in the selected Data Stream.

  • When using Arrow Flight, the transform connects to the running Flight server and pulls data using the stream name.

  • When reading from file-based streams, the file is read sequentially (streaming format) or with random access, depending on the implementation.
