API Initialization When using KiFS via the Java API, the handler class must be initialized. The examples in the following sections make use of this interface and assume these steps have been taken./7.2/aws/tools/kifs/Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000/7.2/aws/tools/kifs/The Kinetica File System (KiFS) is a file system interface that's packaged with Kinetica. It provides a repository for users to store and make use of files within the database. KiFS can be leveraged by several Kinetica features: UDFs (in SQL) External tables (in SQL) /insert/records/fromfiles API calls (SQL LOAD INTO) KiFS files can be referenced with the following URI: kifs://<kifs directory><kifs file> For example, the following URI can be broken down into three components:/7.2/aws/tools/kisql/Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000/7.2/aws/tools/kisql/KiSQL allows SQL queries to be performed against the data in Kinetica from the command line. GitHub has the latest release of KiSQL for download. KiSQL exposes the complete Kinetica SQL interface, as given in the SQL section, including: Ingestion of local file data into tables (INSERT INTO ... SELECT ... FROM FILE) Uploading of local files into the Kinetica File System (KiFS) for later ingestion (UPLOAD FILE) Downloading of Kinetica File System (KiFS) files to local storage (DOWNLOAD FILE) For a graphical SQL interface, see SQL Blocks in Workbench Workbooks.
