"For TUI Musement, Airbyte cut development time in half and enabled dynamic customer experiences."

Chase Zieman

“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.”

Rupak Patel
"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."
First, ensure both ClickHouse and Typesense are installed and running. Confirm that you have access to both systems and that your environment is correctly configured to connect to ClickHouse and Typesense. This might involve setting up network configurations and user permissions.
Use ClickHouse's SQL interface to query and extract the relevant data. You can use a command like the following to export data to a CSV format, which is a common intermediary format:
```sql
SELECT * FROM your_table INTO OUTFILE 'data.csv' FORMAT CSV;
```
Ensure that the data is exported with the correct formatting and encoding to avoid issues during the import process.
Once you have the CSV file, you need to convert it into a JSON format that Typesense can understand. Write a script in a language like Python to read the CSV file and transform each row into a JSON object. Each JSON object should match the schema of the Typesense collection you will import into.
Before importing data, define the schema for your Typesense collection. This involves specifying the structure of your data, including field names, types, and any faceting or indexing options. Use the Typesense API to create this collection:
```json
{
"name": "your_collection",
"fields": [
{"name": "field1", "type": "string"},
{"name": "field2", "type": "int32"}
// Add more fields as needed
]
}
```
With your data prepared and collection configured, use a script to load your JSON objects into Typesense. This can be done via HTTP POST requests to the Typesense API. Ensure you handle authentication and error checking:
```python
import requests
headers = {'X-TYPESENSE-API-KEY': 'your_api_key'}
for document in json_data:
response = requests.post('http://localhost:8108/collections/your_collection/documents', headers=headers, json=document)
response.raise_for_status() # Raise an error for bad responses
```
After the import, verify that the data in Typesense matches the data extracted from ClickHouse. Use the Typesense API to query the collection and ensure the data is correctly indexed and accessible:
```python
response = requests.get('http://localhost:8108/collections/your_collection/documents', headers=headers)
data = response.json()
print(data)
```
If you plan to regularly move data from ClickHouse to Typesense, automate the process using a script that sequentially performs the extraction, transformation, and loading steps. Schedule this script to run at regular intervals using cron jobs or a similar task scheduler.
By following this guide, you can efficiently transfer data from ClickHouse to Typesense without relying on third-party tools, ensuring full control over the data migration process.
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.
