File lineage in readers and writers
See also File lineage in Oracle.
Enabling file lineage causes Striim to track the names of files or other objects that the following adapters read from or write to:
FileReader
HDFSReader
MultiFileReader
OracleReader (redo log files)
S3Reader
AzureBlobWriter
FileWriter
HDFSWriter
S3Writer
You may view the tracked history in the console using the SHOW <source or target name> LINEAGE
command (see SHOW) or in Flow Designer by clicking a deployed or running source or target and View File Lineage.
With file lineage enabled, when a writer is restarted, writing resumes to the next file in the series (see Setting output names and rollover / upload policies). When it is not enabled, writing restarts from the beginning of the series, overwriting existing output files.
