In the data: section of my values.yaml, I have a schema that gets a bit unwieldy. This schema is used in a configMap. Later, a Spark job uses this configMap to create tables. This file is getting big, so I am trying to split off each schema definition in its own file:
"schemas": {
"core": {
"tables": {
"books": { "$ref": "../schemas/core/books.json"},
"trucks": {"$ref": "../schemas/core/trucks.json"},
"lanes": {"$ref": "../schemas/core/lanes.json"}
}
},
"dashboards": {
"tables": {
...
The problem is $ref pointing to an outside file, doesn't work. The tables specified with $ref do not work. If I substitute the values with explicit JSON objects, it does. Does the $ref keyword, valid in JSON, work for this purpose? If not, what is the best way to approach referencing external files?
My directory structure:
// top
/provisioning
/schemas
/core
..books.json
..trucks.json
..lanes.json
/dashboards
/templates
/values.yaml
Is what I'm doing possible? Are my directories and files set up correctly to do this?
