Ingesting Database changes via Sqoop/Hudi

One min read

Very simple in just 2 steps.

Step 1: Extract new changes to users table in MySQL, as avro data files on DFS

// Command to extract incrementals using sqoop
bin/sqoop import \
-Dmapreduce.job.user.classpath.first=true \
--connect jdbc:mysql://localhost/users \
--username root \
--password ******* \
--table users \
--as-avrodatafile \
--target-dir \
s3:///tmp/sqoop/import-1/users

Step 2: Use your fav datasource to read extracted data and directly “upsert” the users table on DFS/Hive

// Spark Datasource
import org.apache.hudi.DataSourceWriteOptions._
// Use Spark datasource to read avro
val inputDataset = spark.read.avro("s3://tmp/sqoop/import-1/users/*");

// save it as a Hudi dataset
inputDataset.write.format("org.apache.hudi”)
.option(HoodieWriteConfig.TABLE_NAME, "hoodie.users")
.option(RECORDKEY_FIELD_OPT_KEY(), "userID")
.option(PARTITIONPATH_FIELD_OPT_KEY(),"country")
.option(PRECOMBINE_FIELD_OPT_KEY(), "last_mod")
.option(OPERATION_OPT_KEY(), UPSERT_OPERATION_OPT_VAL())
.mode(SaveMode.Append)
.save("/path/on/dfs");

Alternatively, you can also use the Hudi DeltaStreamer tool with the DFSSource.
