Feature
ThoughtSpot Loader (tsload) is a common way to import data. When using tsload, you can load larger datasets and make the loading process repeatable through
scripting.
There are several steps to loading data using ThoughtSpot Loader:
Import CSV files with ThoughtSpot Loader
Use ThoughtSpot Loader (tsload) to load data from a CSV text file into an existing table in ThoughtSpot. tsload accepts flags that enable you to specify column and row separators, date or timestamp formats, null value representations, and similar parameters. Many of these options have defaults that you can override.
Use a script to load data
If you need to load data from multiple CSV files, create a script to automate the process. You can also use a similar script to automate recurring data feeds.
Bulk load files in parallel
If you have a very large data file that takes a long time to load, you can reduce the load time by splitting it up into multiple files and loading them in parallel using multiple invocations of tsload.
