JSON Schema

Example

Input

{
    "customerId": "customer-1",
    "productId": "product-1",
    "pageId": "product-detail"
}

Event Metadata

For sequence output mode, this handler uses a path writer, which is responsible for generating unique sequence file paths/names for wrting contents to. The writer can be configured by adding path.* parameters to file system definition.

Using "[uuid]" in prefix or suffix allows generation of globally unique paths and file names, as this entry is replaced with a UUID value generated.

Read / ReadFile

Reads and returns contents of a file (in a cachable manner):

Table

Field	Definition	Example	Default

JSON Schema

With event metadata parameters as:

Table

Parameter	Definition	Example	Default
Path Path	Json path in payload for directory path to list	id	path
Format	Format of the file contents to retrieve (json,text)	json	text
