ORC mapping

Applies to: ✅ Microsoft FabricAzure Data Explorer

Use ORC mapping to map incoming data to columns inside tables when your ingestion source file is in ORC format.

Each element in the mapping list defines the mapping for a specific column. These elements are constructed from three properties: column, datatype, and properties. Learn more in the data mappings overview.

Each ORC mapping element must contain either of the following optional properties:

Property Type Description
Field string Name of the field in the ORC record.
Path string If the value starts with $ it's interpreted as the path to the field in the ORC document that will become the content of the column in the table. The path that denotes the entire ORC record is $. If the value doesn't start with $ it's interpreted as a constant value. Paths that include special characters should be escaped as ['Property Name']. For more information, see JSONPath syntax.
ConstValue string The constant value to be used for a column instead of some value inside the ORC file.
Transform string Transformation that should be applied on the content with mapping transformations.

Note

Field and Path are mutually exclusive.

The following alternatives are equivalent:

[
  {"Column": "event_name", "Properties": {"Path": "$.EventName"}}
]
[
  {"Column": "event_name", "Properties": {"Field": "EventName"}}
]

Important

For queued ingestion:

  • If the table referenced in the mapping doesn't exist in the database, it gets created automatically, given that valid data types are specified for all columns.
  • If a column referenced in the mapping doesn't exist in the table, it gets added automatically to the table as the last column upon the first time data is ingested for that column, given a valid data type is specified for the column. To add new columns to a mapping, use the .alter ingestion mapping command.
  • Data is batched using Ingestion properties. The more distinct ingestion mapping properties used, such as different ConstValue values, the more fragmented the ingestion becomes, which can lead to performance degradation.

Examples

[
  {"Column": "event_timestamp", "Properties": {"Path": "$.Timestamp"}},
  {"Column": "event_name",      "Properties": {"Path": "$.Event.Name"}},
  {"Column": "event_type",      "Properties": {"Path": "$.Event.Type"}},
  {"Column": "event_time",      "Properties": {"Path": "$.Timestamp", "Transform": "DateTimeFromUnixMilliseconds"}},
  {"Column": "ingestion_time",  "Properties": {"ConstValue": "2021-01-01T10:32:00"}},
  {"Column": "full_record",     "Properties": {"Path": "$"}}
]

The mapping above is serialized as a JSON string when it's provided as part of the .ingest management command.

.ingest into Table123 (@"source1", @"source2")
  with
  (
      format = "orc",
      ingestionMapping =
      ```
      [
        {"Column": "column_a", "Properties": {"Path": "$.Field1"}},
        {"Column": "column_b", "Properties": {"Path": "$.[\'Field name with space\']"}}
      ]
      ```
  )

Pre-created mapping

When the mapping is pre-created, reference the mapping by name in the .ingest management command.

.ingest into Table123 (@"source1", @"source2")
    with
    (
        format="orc",
        ingestionMappingReference = "ORC_Mapping"
    )

Identity mapping

Use ORC mapping during ingestion without defining a mapping schema (see identity mapping).

.ingest into Table123 (@"source1", @"source2")
    with
    (
        format="orc"
    )
