Importing DatasetsΒΆ

Mosaic supports several data file types. As mentioned before, Mosaic uses Blaze as backed, which provides a single interface for many different data computing systems.

To import a new dataset click the plus icon next to the filter filed on the left-hand pane:

This opens the following:

The Data URI drop-down list shows a list to select a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). The options are: File path, HDFStore, SQLite, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Other SQL DB, HTTP, Lux and Blaze Server. Once you select the URI chose a name to label it. Optionally a short description can be provided.

The following screenshot shows a csv file imported from the local file system:

The new dataset will be displayed on the left-hand column. Click it to open it in a new tab:
