What our users say
"For TUI Musement, Airbyte cut development time in half and enabled dynamic customer experiences."
“Airbyte helped us accelerate our progress by years, compared to our competitors. We don’t need to worry about connectors and focus on creating value for our users instead of building infrastructure. That’s priceless. The time and energy saved allows us to disrupt and grow faster.”
"With Airbyte, we could just push a few buttons, allow API access, and bring all the data into Google BigQuery. By blending all the different marketing data sources, we can gain valuable insights."
Start by identifying the specific tables or datasets you wish to export from ClickHouse. Ensure that you have adequate permissions to read and export data. Validate the data types and structures you will be exporting to understand any potential conversion requirements.
Utilize ClickHouse's built-in export capabilities to extract data. You can use SQL queries to select the data and export it into a CSV or TSV format. For example, use the command `SELECT FROM your_table FORMAT CSV` to export data to a CSV file. This file will serve as the intermediary to transfer data to Databricks.
Choose a cloud storage solution compatible with Databricks, like AWS S3, Azure Blob Storage, or Google Cloud Storage, and upload the exported data files. Use tools like AWS CLI, Azure CLI, or Google Cloud SDK to perform this upload securely and efficiently. Make sure to organize files in a way that Databricks can easily access them later.
Access your Databricks workspace and create a new cluster if needed. Ensure the cluster has appropriate configurations and permissions to access the cloud storage where your data files reside. Check the network and security settings to make sure there are no access issues.
Use Databricks utilities to mount your cloud storage on the Databricks file system (DBFS). For instance, if you are using AWS S3, you can use the `dbutils.fs.mount` command to establish a persistent connection to your S3 bucket. This step allows Databricks to read the data files directly from the cloud storage.
Create a new notebook in Databricks and write scripts to read the CSV or TSV files from the mounted storage into Databricks tables. Use Spark DataFrames to load and potentially transform the data as needed. For example, use `spark.read.csv` to load the data and specify any schema transformations required to match the structure used in Databricks.
After loading the data, perform validation checks to ensure data integrity and correctness. Compare row counts and key metrics against the original ClickHouse dataset. Optimize the data by converting tables into Delta Lake format to take advantage of features like ACID transactions and efficient data processing within Databricks.
By following these steps, you can effectively move your data from ClickHouse to Databricks Lakehouse without relying on third-party connectors or integrations.
FAQs
What is ETL?
ETL, an acronym for Extract, Transform, Load, is a vital data integration process. It involves extracting data from diverse sources, transforming it into a usable format, and loading it into a database, data warehouse or data lake. This process enables meaningful data analysis, enhancing business intelligence.
An open-source database management system for online analytical processing (OLAP), ClickHouse takes the innovative approach of using a column-based database. It is easy to use right out of the box and is touted as being hardware efficient, extremely reliable, linearly scalable, and “blazing fast”—between 100-1,000x faster than traditional databases that write rows of data to the disk—allowing analytical data reports to be generated in real-time.
What is ELT?
ELT, standing for Extract, Load, Transform, is a modern take on the traditional ETL data integration process. In ELT, data is first extracted from various sources, loaded directly into a data warehouse, and then transformed. This approach enhances data processing speed, analytical flexibility and autonomy.
Difference between ETL and ELT?
ETL and ELT are critical data integration strategies with key differences. ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) transforms data before loading, ideal for structured data. In contrast, ELT (Extract, Load, Transform) loads data before transformation, perfect for processing large, diverse data sets in modern data warehouses. ELT is becoming the new standard as it offers a lot more flexibility and autonomy to data analysts.
