Below is a table containing all of the configurable options within the SQL Lens. To see how to set config variables, see the Quick Start Guide or the full User Guide. With version 2.0 and beyond, fewer configuration is required to have your Lens operational, just setting the Lens Directory is enough. In addition, no configuration is required at startup as config can be updated on a running Lens.

Environment Variable

Entry

Default Value

Description

FRIENDLY_NAME

friendlyName

SQL-Lens

The name you wish to set your Lens up with.

LICENSE

license

 

The License key provided required for running the Lens. Only required when running a non AWS Marketplace version of the Lens

CRON_EXPRESSION

cronExpression

Switched off by default

The Quartz Cron Expression. Used by the Lens to set up a time-based job scheduler which will schedule the Lens to ingest your specified data from your database(s) periodically at fixed times, dates, or intervals. For example, this cron expression value 0 */30 * ? * * * translates to triggering the Lens every 30 minutes starting at :00 or :30 minutes after the hour.

SQL_LIMIT

sqlLimit

0

The SQL Limit provides the maximum limit to the number of records that can be processed in any one query. This means that if your database contains more records that this set variable, the Lens will batch process the records from the query and output multiple RDF files. This value must be an integer greater than zero. It defaults to zero, meaning that iterative queries are switched off.

SQL_OFFSET

sqlOffset

0

The SQL Offset provides the ability to offset the start index of the iterative processing.

CONCURRENT_THREADS

concurrentThreads

4

When the Lens is executing an iterative query, these iterations will be ran in parallel. This option allows you to select how many threads will be used concurrent iteration executions.

CONTINUE_ON_ERROR

continueOnError

false

If there is an error during an iteration, this determines whether the execution will continue or halt.

LENS_DIRECTORY

lensDirectory

file:///var/local/

This is the directory where all Lens files are stored (assuming individual file dir config haven’t been edited). On Lens startup, if this has been declared, it will create folders at the specified location for mapping, output, yaml-mapping, prov output, and config backup.

MAPPINGS_DIR_URL

mappingsDirUrl

 file:///var/local/mapping/

The URL of the directory containing the mapping file(s). Can be local or remote, see here for more details. 

MASTER_MAPPING_FILE

masterMappingFile

mapping.ttl

The filename of the master mapping file.

OUTPUT_DIR_URL

outputDirUrl

 file:///var/local/output/

The URL of the directory you wish the generated RDF to be output to. Can be local or remote, see here for more details.

OUTPUT_FILE_FORMAT

outputFileFormat

nquads

The file type that will be constructed when the RDF is created. The options are: nquads, ntriples, jsonld, turtle, trig, and trix.

CONFIG_BACKUP

configBackup

file:///var/local/config-backup/

The URL directory where the config will be backed up to when calling the upload config endpoint

LENS_RUN_STANDALONE

runStandalone

true

Each of the Lenses are designed to run as part of a larger end to end system with the end result being the data is uploaded to a Knowledge or Property Graph. As part of this process, Kafka is used to communicate between services. This is enabled by default, however if you want to run the Lens as standalone without communicating to other services, set this property to true.

UPLOAD_CUSTOM_FUNCTIONS

uploadCustomFunctions

falseCUSTOM_FUNCTION_JAR_URL

customFunctionJarUrl

 

If you require a function to be executed that doesn’t perform the required operation using the built-in functions, it is possible to create and use your own. To do this, set this variable to the URL of your jar file containing the functions (S3 is also supported), and follow the instructions laid out in this guide.

CUSTOM_FUNCTION_TTL_URL

customFunctionTtlUrl

 

If you require a function to be executed that doesn’t perform the required operation using the built-in functions, it is possible to create and use your own. To do this, set this variable to trueto the URL of your ttl file containing the mappings to your functions (S3 is also supported), and follow the instructions laid out in this guide.

AWS Configuration

One of the methods for connecting to AWS and S3 on a locally running Lens is by using environment variables to set the region, access key, and secret key. This must be done when running your docker container. Alternate methods can be found in the AWS documentation.
