The HDInsight Streaming Activity in an Azure Data Factory or Synapse Analytics pipeline executes Hadoop Streaming programs on your own or on-demand HDInsight cluster. This article builds on the data transformation activities article, which presents a general overview of data transformation and the supported transformation activities.

To learn more, read through the introduction articles to Azure Data Factory and Synapse Analytics and do the Tutorial: transform data before reading this article.

Add an HDInsight Streaming activity to a pipeline with UI

To use an HDInsight Streaming activity to a pipeline, complete the following steps:

  1. Search for Streaming in the pipeline Activities pane, and drag a Streaming activity to the pipeline canvas.

  2. Select the new Streaming activity on the canvas if it is not already selected.

  3. Select the HDI Cluster tab to select or create a new linked service to an HDInsight cluster that will be used to execute the Streaming activity.

    Shows the UI for a Streaming activity.

  4. Select the File tab to specify the mapper and reducer names for your streaming job, and select or create a new linked service to an Azure Storage account that will the mapper, reducer, input, and output files for the job. You can also configure advanced details including debugging configuration, arguments, and parameters to be passed to the job.

    Shows the UI for the File tab for a Streaming activity.

Property Description Required
name Name of the activity Yes
description Text describing what the activity is used for No
type For Hadoop Streaming Activity, the activity type is HDInsightStreaming Yes
linkedServiceName Reference to the HDInsight cluster registered as a linked service. To learn about this linked service, see Compute linked services article. Yes
mapper Specifies the name of the mapper executable Yes
reducer Specifies the name of the reducer executable Yes
combiner Specifies the name of the combiner executable No
fileLinkedService Reference to an Azure Storage Linked Service used to store the Mapper, Combiner, and Reducer programs to be executed. Only Azure Blob Storage and ADLS Gen2 linked services are supported here. If you don't specify this Linked Service, the Azure Storage Linked Service defined in the HDInsight Linked Service is used. No

input Specifies the WASB path to the input file for the Mapper. Yes
output Specifies the WASB path to the output file for the Reducer. Yes
getDebugInfo Specifies when the log files are copied to the Azure Storage used by HDInsight cluster (or) specified by scriptLinkedService. Allowed values: None, Always, or Failure. Default value: None. No
arguments Specifies an array of arguments for a Hadoop job. The arguments are passed as command-line arguments to each task. No
defines Specify parameters as key/value pairs for referencing within the Hive script. No
