Run Job

We have planned several operations on our database: it is time to make these changes. To do this, just click on Run Job on the Transformer page. In this way, the Run Job page will be open, where we can specify transformation and profiling jobs for the currently loaded dataset. Available options include output formats and output destinations.

The Profile Results option allows us to generate a visual result profile. The visual profile is very useful for examining the problems of our recipe and iterating, even if it is a process that requires a lot of resources. If the dataset we are processing is large, disabling the profiling of the results can improve the overall execution speed of the job.

After setting the available options correctly, we can queue the specified job for execution by simply clicking Run Job. Once this is done, the job is queued for processing. At the end of the process, you can view the results of successful runs using the Dataset Details page.

Google Cloud Platform for Architects

Google Cloud Platform for Architects

The Google Cloud Platform is fast emerging as a leading public cloud provider. The GCP, as it is popularly known, is backed by Google's awe-inspiring engineering expertise and infrastructure and is able to draw upon the goodwill and respect that Google has come to enjoy. The GCP is one of a handful of public cloud providers to offer the full range of cloud computing services, ranging from IaaS (Infrastructure-as-a-Service) to PaaS (Platform-as-a-Service). There is another reason the GCP is fast gaining popularity; genre-defining technologies such as TensorFlow and Kubernetes originated at Google before being open-sourced, and the GCP is a natural choice of cloud on which to run them. If you are a cloud professional today, time spent on mastering the GCP is likely to be an excellent investment.
