The Date Time Extractor is a Transform type Snap that is used to extract components from datetime data and add them to the result field. You can use the Snap to prepare the data before performing aggregation or analysis. For example, to identify the total sales for each month or quarter.
The Date Time Extractor Snap is an alternative to the Date class in the expression language.
Input and Output
Expected input: A document with datetime fields.
Expected output: A document with fields that contain datetime components.
Expected upstream Snaps: Any Snap that has a document output stream. For example, Mapper, JSON Parser, etc.
Expected downstream Snaps: Any Snap that has a document input stream. For example, Aggregate, Profile, etc.
Required.The name for the Snap. You can modify this to be specific, especially if you have more than one of the same Snap in your pipeline.
Policy
Specify your preferencesfor the date time extraction. Each policy contains an input field, component, and the result field. The Snap extracts the date or time component from the input field value and writes it to the result field.
Field
Required. Specifies the datetime field in the input document. This is a suggestible field that suggests all the fields in the incoming dataset.
Ensure the field is in datetime type. To convert text to datetime, use the Type Converter Snap.
Default value: None
Component
Specifies the component that the Snap must extract from the input field. The available options are:
Date
Date String (yyyy-MM-dd)
Year
Quarter
Month
Day
Hour
Minute
Second
Millisecond
Year and Month (yyyy-MM)
Week of Year
Day of Year
Day of Week
Day of Week String (Sunday)
Month of Year String (January)
Epoch
Epoch Millisecond
Default value: Date
Result field
Required. The result field to be used in the output map. If the Result fieldis the same as Field, the values are overwritten. If the Result fielddoes not exist in the original input document, a new field is added.
Upgraded the org.json.json library from v20090211 to v20240303, which is fully backward compatible.
Enhanced the Date Time Extractor Snap to support Date time formats (YYYY-MM-dd HH:mm:ss and YYYY-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS) and allow the root path to auto-convert all fields.

Introduces the Mask Snap that enables you to hide sensitive information in your dataset before exporting the dataset for analytics or writing the dataset to a target file.
Enhances theMatch Snap to add a new field,Match all, which matches one record from the first input with multiple records in the second input. Also, enhances theComparatorfield in the Snap by adding one more option,Exact, which identifies and classifies a match as either an exact match or not a match at all.
Enhances the DeduplicateSnap to add a new field,Group ID, which includes the Group ID for each record in the output. Also, enhances theComparatorfield in the Snap by adding one more option,Exact, which identifies and classifies a match as either an exact match or not a match at all.
Enhances the SampleSnap by adding a second output view which displays data that is not in the first output. Also, a new algorithm type,Linear Split, which enables you to split the dataset based on the pass-through percentage.
