.. _Data Connectors:

Enabling Data Connectors
========================

Driverless AI provides various data connectors for external data sources. Data sources are exposed in the form of the file systems. Each file system is prefixed by a unique prefix. For example:

- To reference data on HDFS, use the prefix ``hdfs://``.
- To reference data on S3, use ``s3://``.
- To reference data on Google Cloud Storage, use ``gs://``
- To reference data on Google BigQuery, make sure you know the Google BigQuery dataset and the table that you want to query. Use a standard SQL query to ingest data.
- To reference data on KDB, use the hostname and the port ``http://<kdb_server>:<port>``
- To reference data on Minio, use ``http://<endpoint_url>``.
- To reference data on Snowflake, use a standard SQL query to ingest data.
