DECLARATIVE EXTERNAL DATA SOURCE IMPORTATION, EXPORTATION, AND METADATA REFLECTION UTILIZING HTTP AND HDFS PROTOCOLS

Abstract:

Techniques are disclosure for a data enrichment system that enables declarative external data source importation and exportation. A user can specify via a user interface input for identifying different data sources from which to obtain input data. The data enrichment system is configured to import and export various types of sources storing resources such as URL-based resources and HDFS-based resources for high-speed bi-directional metadata and data interchange. Connection metadata (e.g., credentials, access paths, etc.) can be managed by the data enrichment system in a declarative format for managing and visualizing the connection metadata.
