Property | Description |
Content Format | Content format of ingested data source (Avro, Parquet, ORC, JSON, CSV, TSV, x-www-form-urlencoded, Protobuf, Avro-record, Avro with Schema Registry, or XML). |
Compute Cluster | Compute cluster this data source is running on. |
Target Storage | Where to store the data read (the output storage). |
Retention | The retention policy in Upsolver in minutes, hours, or days. The data is deleted permanently after this period elapses (unless Soft Retention is set to Yes). By default, the data is kept forever. |
Soft Retention | A setting that prevents data deletion when the retention policy in Upsolver activates. When enabled, the metadata is purged but the underlying data (e.g. S3 object) is not deleted. |
<Type> Connection | The connection string that represents a resource and its credentials. |
Kafka Version | The Kafka version. |
Kafka Topic | The Kafka topic. |
Stream Name | The Kinesis stream name. |
Read From Start | Whether the stream was read from the start. |
Folder | The data folder (e.g. billing data). If this is not specified, the data is assumed to be in the top-level of the hierarchy. |
Date Pattern | The date pattern of the files ingested. |
Start Ingestion From | When ingestion started. |
Property | Description |
Infer Types | Whether or not to infer types. |

Shards | The number of shards, and the more shards the quicker the data processing. |
Execution Parallelism | The number of independent shards to parse data, to increase parallelism and reduce latency. This should remain 1 in most cases. |
End Read At | When to stop reading the stream. |
Use SSL | Whether or not to use SSL. |
Compression | The compression in the data (Zip, GZip, Snappy, SnappyUnframed, Tar, or None). |
