    Dremio Configuration

    General

    Connection

    • JDBC Connection String – Connection string. The connection URL can be found in AWS console.

    Authentication

    • No authentication method
    • Master Authentication method (default)
      • Username – Redshift user name
      • Password – Redshift password
    • Secret resource url
    • AWS Profile – Dremio sources profile credentials from the specified AWS profile. For information on how to set up a configuration or credentials file for AWS, see AWS Custom Authentication.
      • Profile Name (Optional) – The AWS profile name. If this is left blank, then the default profile will be used. For more information about using profiles in a credentials or configuration file, see AWS’s documentation on Configuration and credential file settings.
      • DbUser (Optional) – The name of the Redshfit DbUser to use for authentication. If this is left blank, the default user name for your AWS IAM role will be used (generally this is the same as your AWS username).

    Advanced Options

    • Record fetch size: Number of records to fetch at once. Set to 0 (zero) to have Dremio automatically decide. Default: 10
    • Maximum idle connections: The total number of connections allowed to be idle at a given time. By default, this is set to 8.
    • Connection idle time (s): The amount of time (in seconds) allowed for a connection to remain idle before the connection is terminated. By default, this is set to 60.
    • Query timeout: The amount of time (in seconds) allowed to wait for the results of a query. If this time expires, the connection being used is returned to an idle state.
    • Enable legacy dialect

    Reflection Refresh

    • Never refresh – Specifies how often to refresh based on hours, days, weeks, or never.
    • Never expire – Specifies how often to expire based on hours, days, weeks, or never.

    Metadata

    Dataset Handling

    • Remove dataset definitions if underlying data is unavailable (Default).
      If this box is not checked and the underlying files under a folder are removed or the folder/source is not accessible, Dremio does not remove the dataset definitions. This option is useful in cases when files are temporarily deleted and put back in place with new sets of files.

    Metadata Refresh

    • Dataset Discovery – Refresh interval for top-level source object names such as names of DBs and tables.
      • Fetch every – Specify fetch time based on minutes, hours, days, or weeks. Default: 1 hour
    • Dataset Details – The metadata that Dremio needs for query planning such as information needed for fields, types, shards, statistics, and locality.
      • Fetch mode – Specify either Only Queried Datasets, All Datasets, or As Needed. Default: Only Queried Datasets
        • Only Queried Datasets – Dremio updates details for previously queried objects in a source.
          This mode increases query performance because less work is needed at query time for these datasets.
        • All Datasets – Dremio updates details for all datasets in a source. This mode increases query performance because less work is needed at query time.
        • As Needed – Dremio updates details for a dataset at query time. This mode minimized metadata queries on a source when not used, but might lead to longer planning times.
      • Fetch every – Specify fetch time based on minutes, hours, days, or weeks. Default: 1 hour
      • Expire after – Specify expiration time based on minutes, hours, days, or weeks. Default: 3 hours

    • All users can edit.
