Delete HDFS File Based on Creation Date

[stephanie_scott]

Good morning,
I'm attempting to delete files from a HDFS directory based on creation date.  I'm using something similar to the solution found here: 
My problem is rather than using tFileList/tFileDelete, I need to use tHDFSList/tHDFSDelete.  However tFilterRow does not connect to tHDFSDelete.
I'm somewhat of a novice in Talend, teaching myself little by little.  Any help or ideas on how I can change this flow to work is greatly appreciated!

Hi,
The tfilterrow component requires an output component. Could you please try this work flow to see if it is Ok with you?
tHDFSConnection-->tHDFSList-->tHDFSProperties-->tMap-->tFilterRow-->tfileoutputxxx-->tHDFSDelete
Best regards
Sabrina

If the output of tFilterRow is the list of files to delete, inserting a tFlowToIterate between it and tHDFSDelete should let you loop over the files and delete each one.
