flume-ng-sql-source

This project is used for flume-ng to communicate with sql databases

Current sql database engines supported

  • After the last update the code has been integrated with hibernate, so all databases supported by this technology should work.

Compilation and packaging

  $ mvn package

Deployment

Copy flume-ng-sql-source-.jar in target folder into flume plugins dir folder

  $ mkdir -p $FLUME_HOME/plugins.d/sql-source/lib $FLUME_HOME/plugins.d/sql-source/libext
  $ cp flume-ng-sql-source-0.8.jar $FLUME_HOME/plugins.d/sql-source/lib

Specific installation by database engine

MySQL

Download the official mysql jdbc driver and copy in libext flume plugins directory:

$ wget https://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/Connector-J/mysql-connector-java-5.1.35.tar.gz
$ tar xzf mysql-connector-java-5.1.35.tar.gz
$ cp mysql-connector-java-5.1.35-bin.jar $FLUME_HOME/plugins.d/sql-source/libext

Configuration of SQL Source:

Mandatory properties in bold

Property Name Default Description
channels - Connected channel names
type - The component type name, needs to be org.keedio.flume.source.SQLSource
hibernate.connection.url - Url to connect with the remote Database
hibernate.connection.user - Username to connect with the database
hibernate.connection.password - Password to connect with the database
table - Table to export data
status.file.name - Local file name to save last row number read
status.file.path /var/lib/flume Path to save the status file
start.from 0 Start value to import data
delimiter.entry , delimiter of incoming entry
enclose.by.quotes true If Quotes are applied to all values in the output.
columns.to.select * Which colums of the table will be selected
run.query.delay 10000 ms to wait between run queries
batch.size 100 Batch size to send events to flume channel
max.rows 10000 Max rows to import per query
read.only false Sets read only session with DDBB
custom.query - Custom query to force a special request to the DB, be carefull. Check below explanation of this property.
hibernate.connection.driver_class - Driver class to use by hibernate, if not specified the framework will auto asign one
hibernate.dialect - Dialect to use by hibernate, if not specified the framework will auto asign one. Check https://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/orm/4.3/manual/en-US/html/ch03.html#configuration-optional-dialects for a complete list of available dialects
hibernate.connection.provider_class - Set to org.hibernate.connection.C3P0ConnectionProvider to use C3P0 connection pool (recommended for production)
hibernate.c3p0.min_size - Min connection pool size
hibernate.c3p0.max_size - Max connection pool size
default.charset.resultset UTF-8 Result set from DB converted to charset character encoding

Standard Query

If no custom query is set, SELECT <columns.to.select> FROM <table> will be executed each run.query.delay milliseconds configured

Custom Query

A custom query is supported to bring the possibility of using the entire SQL language. This is powerful, but risky, be careful with the custom queries used.

To avoid row export repetitions use the $@$ special character in WHERE clause, to incrementaly export not processed rows and the new ones inserted.

IMPORTANT: For proper operation of Custom Query ensure that incremental field will be returned in the first position of the Query result.

Example:

agent.sources.sql-source.custom.query = SELECT incrementalField,field2 FROM table1 WHERE incrementalField > $@$ 

Configuration example

# For each one of the sources, the type is defined
agent.sources.sqlSource.type = org.keedio.flume.source.SQLSource

agent.sources.sqlSource.hibernate.connection.url = jdbc:db2://192.168.56.70:50000/sample

# Hibernate Database connection properties
agent.sources.sqlSource.hibernate.connection.user = db2inst1
agent.sources.sqlSource.hibernate.connection.password = db2inst1
agent.sources.sqlSource.hibernate.connection.autocommit = true
agent.sources.sqlSource.hibernate.dialect = org.hibernate.dialect.DB2Dialect
agent.sources.sqlSource.hibernate.connection.driver_class = com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Driver

#agent.sources.sqlSource.table = employee1

# Columns to import to kafka (default * import entire row)
#agent.sources.sqlSource.columns.to.select = *

# Query delay, each configured milisecond the query will be sent
agent.sources.sqlSource.run.query.delay=10000

# Status file is used to save last readed row
agent.sources.sqlSource.status.file.path = /var/log/flume
agent.sources.sqlSource.status.file.name = sqlSource.status

# Custom query
agent.sources.sqlSource.start.from = 19700101000000000000
agent.sources.sqlSource.custom.query = SELECT * FROM (select DECIMAL(test) * 1000000 AS INCREMENTAL, EMPLOYEE1.* from employee1 UNION select DECIMAL(test) * 1000000 AS INCREMENTAL, EMPLOYEE2.* from employee2) WHERE INCREMENTAL > $@$ ORDER BY INCREMENTAL ASC

agent.sources.sqlSource.batch.size = 1000
agent.sources.sqlSource.max.rows = 1000
agent.sources.sqlSource.delimiter.entry = |

agent.sources.sqlSource.hibernate.connection.provider_class = org.hibernate.connection.C3P0ConnectionProvider
agent.sources.sqlSource.hibernate.c3p0.min_size=1
agent.sources.sqlSource.hibernate.c3p0.max_size=10

# The channel can be defined as follows.
agent.sources.sqlSource.channels = memoryChannel

Known Issues

An issue with Java SQL Types and Hibernate Types could appear Using SQL Server databases and SQL Server Dialect coming with Hibernate.

Something like:

org.hibernate.MappingException: No Dialect mapping for JDBC type: -15

Use org.keedio.flume.source.SQLServerCustomDialect in flume configuration file to solve this problem.

Special thanks

I used flume-ng-kafka to guide me (https://github.com/baniuyao/flume-ng-kafka-source.git). Thanks to Frank Yao.
