Toolkits
A toolkit is a set of SPL artifacts, which are organized into a package. Toolkits make SPL or native functions and primitive or composite operators reusable across different applications.

- APIs
  Application programming interfaces (APIs) provide functions that simplify applications development.
- Job configuration overlays
  You can specify or change configuration parameters when you use the submitjob or updateoperators operations. The settings control submission constraints, host constraints and locations, and operator status. Parameters are captured and updated in the configuration JSON file. When you change the values in the job configuration overlay file, the changes override any previously set values.
- Commands
  Teracloud® Streams provides a number of commands you use to perform tasks.
- Operator model
  An operator model is an XML document that describes the basic properties of a primitive operator.
- Streams Processing Language (SPL)
  Streams Processing Language (SPL) is a distributed data flow composition language that is used in Teracloud® Streams. SPL has primitive types, program structures, and definitions that are tailored for streaming data.
- Toolkits
  A toolkit is a set of SPL artifacts, which are organized into a package. Toolkits make SPL or native functions and primitive or composite operators reusable across different applications.
  - Specialized toolkit requirements and restrictions
    Several of the specialized toolkits require RPMs that are not required by the Teracloud® Streams product. There are also toolkit restrictions on some platforms.
  - Toolkits
- SPLDOC markup
  You can use SPLDOC markup in the descriptions associated with the SPL artifacts in a toolkit. The spl-make-doc command generates HTML documentation from the marked up artifacts.

Sorting input files by file size

When your business logic relies on a certain order to read the input files, you configure scanning of the directory to report the identified files in a sorted sequence. For example, this sorting is needed in automated tests where current application results are automatically compared to expected results.

About this task

Enable sorting by file size in custom order by using parameters.

Procedure

In the file <PathToYourApplication>/config/config.cfg, find the ite.ingest.directoryScan.sort parameter description
To enable sorting in ascending order, select the custom value for the parameter as follows: ite.ingest.directoryScan.sort=custom
In the file <PathToYourApplication>/config/config.cfg, find the ite.ingest.directoryScan.sort.attribute parameter description
To enable sorting by file size, set the parameter as follows: ite.ingest.directoryScan.sort.attribute=size

Refer to the customization information that describes how to implement a customized sorting operator.
