What is a par.txt file

The par.txt file allows you to define where you want your data to be stored as it defines the top-level partitioning of the pipeline. For example, you can split the data across disks.

How to use par.txt in Refinery

To use the par.txt file within Refinery, you'll need to create the file in the pipeline's directory, for example: [DELTADATA_HOME]/refinery/hdb/DemoPipeline.0/par.txt

Example of par.txt

The par.txt file should look like the below:

[DELTADATA_HOME]/refinery/hdb/DemoPipeline.00
[DELTADATA_HOME]/refinery/hdb/DemoPipeline.01

Then, upload and ingest your data into the pipeline as you would normally.
