4.1 Integrating Hadoop Data
To integrate Hadoop data, set up data sources, import Hadoop knowledge modules, create oracle data integrator models and design mappings to load, validate, and transform Hadoop data.
The following table summarizes the steps for integrating Hadoop data.
Table 4-1 Integrating Hadoop Data
4.2 Setting Up File Data Sources
To setup file data sources, you need to create a data server object under File technology along with a physical and logical schema for every directory to be accessed.
In the Hadoop context, there is a distinction between files in Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) and local files (outside of HDFS).
To define a data source:
-
Create a Data Server object under File technology.
-
Create a Physical Schema object for every directory to be accessed.
-
Create a Logical Schema object for every directory to be accessed.
-
Create a Model for every Logical Schema.
-
Create one or more data stores for each different type of file and wildcard name pattern.
-
HDFS Files are now created using the HDFS Technology as seen in Setting Up HDFS Data Sources. However, for backward compatibility, there are some Big Data File Knowledge Modules that support HDFS Files. To define HDFS files, you must select HDFS File and define the Hadoop DataServer reference. Alternatively, you can create a Data Server object under File technology by entering the HDFS name node in the field JDBC URL and leave the JDBC Driver name empty. For example:
hdfs://bda1node01.example.com:8020
Test Connection is not supported for this Data Server configuration.
4.3 Setting Up HDFS Data Sources
To setup HDFS data sources, you need to create a data server object under HDFS technology along with a physical and logical schema for every directory to be accessed.
4.4 Setting Up Hive Data Sources
To setup Hive data sources, you need to create a data server object under Hive technology. Oracle Data Integrator connects to Hive by using JDBC.
The following steps in Oracle Data Integrator are required for connecting to a Hive system.
Oracle Data Integrator connects to Hive by using JDBC.
To set up a Hive data source:
-
Create a Data Server object under Hive technology.
-
Set the following locations under JDBC:
JDBC Driver:
weblogic.jdbc.hive.HiveDriver
JDBC URL:
jdbc:weblogic:hive://<host>:<port>[; property=value[;...]]
For example,
jdbc:weblogic:hive://localhost:10000;DatabaseName=default;User=default;Password=default
Note:
Usually User ID and Password are provided in the respective fields of an ODI Data Server. In case where a Hive user is defined without password, you must add
password=default
as part of the JDBC URL and the password field of Data Server shall be left blank. -
Set the following under on the definition tab of the data server:
Hive Metastore URIs: for example,
thrift://BDA:10000
-
Ensure that the Hive server is up and running.
-
Test the connection to the Data Server.
-
Create a Physical Schema. Enter the name of the Hive schema in both schema fields of the Physical Schema definition.
-
Create a Logical Schema object.
-
Import RKM Hive into Global Objects or a project.
-
Create a new model for Hive Technology pointing to the logical schema.
-
Perform a custom reverse-engineering operation using RKM Hive.
Reverse-engineered Hive table populates the attribute and storage tabs of the data store.
4.5 Setting Up HBase Data Sources
To setup HBase data sources, you need to create a data server object under HBase technology along with a physical and logical schema object.
To set up a HBase data source:
-
Create a Data Server object under HBase technology.
JDBC Driver and URL are not available for data servers of this technology.
-
Set the following under on the definition tab of the data server:
HBase Quorum: Quorum of the HBase installation. For example:
zkhost1.example.com,zkhost2.example.com,zkhost3.example.com
-
Ensure that the HBase server is up and running.
Note:
You cannot test the connection to the HBase Data Server.
-
Create a Physical Schema.
-
Create a Logical Schema object.
-
Import RKM HBase into Global Objects or a project.
-
Create a new model for HBase Technology pointing to the logical schema.
-
Perform a custom reverse-engineering operation using RKM HBase.
Note:
Ensure that the HBase tables contain some data before performing reverse-engineering. The reverse-engineering operation does not work if the HBase tables are empty.
At the end of this process, the HBase Data Model contains all the HBase tables with their columns and data types.
4.6 Setting Up Kafka Data Sources
To setup kafka data sources, you need to create a data server object under Kafka technology along with a physical and logical schema object. Create one or more data sources for each different topic and then test the connection to the Data Server.
4.7 Setting Up Cassandra Data Sources
To setup Cassandra data sources, you need to create a data server object under Casssandra technology. Oracle Data Integrator connects to Cassandra by using JDBC.
4.8 Importing Hadoop Knowledge Modules
Unlike other built-in Big Data Knowledge Modules, you need to import RKMs and CKMs into your project or as global objects before you use them.
Most of the Big Data Knowledge Modules are built-in the product. The exceptions are the RKMs and CKMs, and these will need to be imported into your project or as global objects before you use them. They are:
-
CKM Hive
-
RKM Hive
-
RKM HBase
-
RKM Cassandra
4.9 Creating ODI Models and Data Stores to represent Hive, HBase and Cassandra Tables, and HDFS Files
You must create ODI models to hold the data stores that represent HDFS files or Hive, HBase and Cassandra tables. The reverse-engineering process creates Hive, HBase and Cassandra data stores for the corresponding Hive, HBase and Cassandra tables. You can use these data stores as source or target in your mappings.
This section contains the following topics:
4.9.1 Creating a Model
To create a model that is based on the technology hosting Hive, HBase, Cassandra, or HDFS and on the logical schema created when you configured the Hive, HBase, Cassandra, HDFS or File connection, follow the standard procedure described in Developing Integration Projects with Oracle Data Integrator.
For backward compatibility, the Big Data LKMs reading from Files (LKM File to Hive LOAD DATA), also support reading from HDFS, however the source data store must be from a file model. If reading from HDFS, it is preferable to use KMs like the LKM HDFS to File LOAD DATA . In this case, the source data store must be from an HDFS model.
4.9.2 Reverse-Engineering Hive Tables
RKM Hive is used to reverse-engineer Hive tables and views. To perform a customized reverse-engineering of Hive tables with RKM Hive, follow the usual procedures, as described in Developing Integration Projects with Oracle Data Integrator. This topic details information specific to Hive tables.
The reverse-engineering process creates the data stores for the corresponding Hive table or views. You can use the data stores as either a source or a target in a mapping.
For more information about RKM Hive, see RKM Hive.
Hive data stores contain a storage tab allowing you to see how data is stored and formatted within Hive. If the Hive table has been reverse-engineered, then these fields will be automatically populated. If you created this data store from the beginning, with the intention of creating the table when running a mapping (using create target table), then you can choose how the data is formatted by editing these fields.
The target Hive table is created based on the data provided in the Storage and Attribute panels of the Hive data store as shown in Table 4-2 and Table 4-3.
Table 4-2 Hive Data Store Storage Panel Properties
Property | Description |
---|---|

Length |
Physical length of the attribute. |
Scale |
Scale of the numeric attribute. |
Not Null |
Specifies if the attribute can be null or not. |
SCD Behavior |
This is not used for Hive data stores. |
Partition By |
Select if it is a partition column. |
Cluster By |
Select if it is a bucketed column. |
Sort By |
Select to sort data on this column within the bucket. Note: You must set the position of this column in the SORTED BY clause. The column whose Sort By value is smaller will get the higher priority. For example, consider three columns, C1 with Sort By = 5, C2 with Sort By = 2, C3 with Sort By = 8. The SORTED BY clause will be SORTED BY (C2, C1, C3). |
Sort Direction |
Select to sort data in the ascending (ASC) or descending (DESC) order. |
The data provided above can also be used to create a Hive DDL when the CREATE_TARG_TABLE option is selected in the LKMs and IKMs.
To fully use the Hive format and storage information, one or more of the following KMs must be used:
-
IKM Hive Append
-
IKM Hive Incremental Update
-
LKM File to Hive LOAD DATA Direct
-
LKM HDFS File to Hive LOAD DATA Direct
4.9.3 Reverse-Engineering HBase Tables
RKM HBase is used to reverse-engineer HBase tables. To perform a customized reverse-engineering of HBase tables with RKM HBase, follow the usual procedures, as described in Developing Integration Projects with Oracle Data Integrator. This topic details information specific to HBase tables.
The reverse-engineering process creates the data stores for the corresponding HBase table. You can use the data stores as either a source or a target in a mapping.
Note:
Ensure that the HBase tables contain some data before performing reverse-engineering. The reverse-engineering operation does not work if the HBase tables are empty.
For more information about RKM HBase, see RKM HBase.
4.9.4 Reverse-Engineering HDFS Files
HDFS files are represented using data stores based on HDFS technology. The HDFS data stores contain the storage format (JSON, Delimited, etc.), attributes, datatypes, and datatype properties.
In previous versions of ODI, File technology was used to represent HDFS Files, but the storage format information was specified in the mappings. If you have existing mappings that use Knowledge Modules such as LKM File to Hive or LKM File to Spark, then you should continue to represent your HDFS files with File technology.
Note:
The preferred method of representing HDFS files is by using the HDFS technology.Reverse-Engineering HDFS Files into HDFS Data Stores
To reverse-engineer an HDFS file, perform the following steps:
-
Create a HDFS data store.
-
From the Storage Tab, select the Storage Format from the Storage Format drop-down list and specify the complete path of the schema file in the Schema File field.
The schema file should be located in the local file system.
-
Click Reverse Engineer operation from the Attributes Tab of the HDFS data store.
Note:
-
There is no need to import an RKM into the project.
-
HDFS reverse-engineering requires a Schema (JSON, Parquet, or Avro), hence HDFS files with a Delimited format cannot be reverse-engineered.
For more information, see the Reverse-engineer a File Model section in Connectivity and Knowledge Modules Guide for Oracle Data Integrator Developer's Guide .
