Parsers & Schema

Data formats currently available are: Avro, Grok, JSON, Parquet and XSV. However, you can create your own parser functions or define a UDP (User Defined Parser) to process a file format.

For custom read connectors (e.g. Redshift) you will need to create the schema with column names and data types as well as specifying default values etc.

All Redshift connections are SSL encrypted.
