How to load data from ClickHouse to Weaviate

Learn how to use Airbyte to synchronize your ClickHouse data into Weaviate within minutes.

Building your pipeline or Using Airbyte

Airbyte is the only open source solution empowering data teams  to meet all their growing custom business demands in the new AI era.

Building in-house pipelines

Bespoke pipelines are:
  • Inconsistent and inaccurate data
  • Laborious and expensive
  • Brittle and inflexible
Furthermore, you will need to build and maintain Y x Z pipelines with Y sources and Z destinations to cover all your needs.

After Airbyte

Airbyte connections are:
  • Reliable and accurate
  • Extensible and scalable for all your needs
  • Deployed and governed your way
All your pipelines in minutes, however custom they are, thanks to Airbyte’s connector marketplace and AI Connector Builder.

How to Sync to Manually

Step 1: Extract Data from ClickHouse

Begin by extracting the data you want to move from ClickHouse. Use SQL queries to select the relevant data. You can execute these queries directly in the ClickHouse client or through a script using ClickHouse's HTTP interface or native client libraries. Export the results into a CSV or JSON file, as these formats are easy to manipulate and compatible with Weaviate.

Step 2: Prepare the Exported Data for Transformation

Once you have exported the data, inspect the CSV or JSON file to ensure all necessary fields are included. Organize the data in a way that aligns with your intended Weaviate schema. Ensure that each record includes a unique identifier and that any nested data structures are appropriately represented.

Step 3: Define the Weaviate Schema

Before importing data into Weaviate, define your schema to match the data structure. The schema should include the classes and properties that reflect your data's structure and relationships. You can define this schema using Weaviate's RESTful API by posting the schema configuration in JSON format to the `/v1/schema` endpoint.

Step 4: Transform Data into Weaviate Format

Convert your exported data into a format compatible with the defined Weaviate schema. This typically involves mapping your CSV or JSON fields to the corresponding Weaviate class properties. Additionally, ensure data types are correctly converted (e.g., strings, numbers, booleans).

Step 5: Write a Script for Data Ingestion

Develop a script in a language like Python or Node.js to automate the data ingestion process. The script should read the transformed data and use Weaviate's REST API to post each record to the specified class. Ensure the script handles authentication, error logging, and retries to manage any ingestion issues.

Step 6: Import Data into Weaviate

Run the script to import data into Weaviate. Monitor the process to ensure that all data is correctly ingested. During this step, use the `/v1/objects` endpoint to create instances of your classes with the transformed data. Validate each request's response to confirm successful ingestion.

Step 7: Verify Data Integrity in Weaviate

After the import process, verify the integrity of the data within Weaviate. Use Weaviate's GraphQL API to query the imported data and check for consistency and accuracy. Ensure that all fields are correctly populated and that relationships between data entities are properly established.

By following these steps, you can efficiently transfer your data from ClickHouse to Weaviate without relying on third-party connectors or integrations.
