rules [ConfigMap]​

Rule definition of user's available data. Each rule represents one field validation or row num validation.

field_rules [ConfigList]​

field rules for field validation

field_name [string]​

field name(stringοΌ‰

field_type [string | ConfigMap]​

Field type declarations should adhere to this guide.

field_value [ConfigList]​

A list value rule define the data value validation

rule_type [string]​

The following rules are supported for now

  • NOT_NULL value can't be null
  • NULL value can be null
  • MIN define the minimum value of data
  • MAX define the maximum value of data
  • MIN_LENGTH define the minimum string length of a string data
  • MAX_LENGTH define the maximum string length of a string data
  • MIN_ROW define the minimun number of rows
  • MAX_ROW define the maximum number of rows

rule_value [numeric]​

The value related to rule type. When the rule_type is MIN, MAX, MIN_LENGTH, MAX_LENGTH, MIN_ROW or MAX_ROW, users need to assign a value to the rule_value.

equals_to [boolean | numeric | string | ConfigList | ConfigMap]​

equals_to is used to compare whether the field value is equal to the configured expected value. You can assign values of all types to equals_to. These types are detailed here. For instance, if one field is a row with three fields, and the declaration of row type is {a = array<string>, b = map<string, decimal(30, 2)>, c={c_0 = int, b = string}}, users can assign the value [["a", "b"], { k0 = 9999.99, k1 = 111.11 }, [123, "abcd"]] to equals_to.

The way of defining field values is consistent with FakeSource.

equals_to cannot be applied to null type fields. However, users can use the rule type NULL for verification, such as {rule_type = NULL}.

catalog_table_rule [ConfigMap]​

Used to assert the catalog table is same with the user defined table.

table-names [ConfigList]​

Used to assert the table should be in the data.

common options​

Sink plugin common parameters, please refer to Sink Common Options for details
