"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."
Ensure your CSV file is clean and formatted correctly. Verify that it does not contain any corrupt data or special characters that could cause import issues. Place the CSV file in a location that Databricks can access, like a cloud storage bucket that your Databricks environment is configured to access (e.g., AWS S3, Azure Blob Storage, or Google Cloud Storage).
Log into your Databricks workspace. You should have the necessary permissions to create notebooks and access data storage options. Navigate to the workspace area where you can create new notebooks or scripts.
Before importing the CSV, ensure that your Databricks environment has the necessary permissions to read from your cloud storage. This usually involves setting up access credentials. For example, if using AWS S3, ensure that the AWS credentials are configured within Databricks to access the bucket containing your CSV file.
In your Databricks workspace, create a new notebook. This will allow you to write and execute code to read the CSV file and move the data into the Databricks Lakehouse. Choose your preferred language (Python, SQL, Scala, etc.) for the notebook.
Use Spark’s built-in CSV reader to load the data into a DataFrame. For example, in a Python notebook, you can use:
```python
df = spark.read.csv("path/to/your/csvfile.csv", header=True, inferSchema=True)
```
Replace `"path/to/your/csvfile.csv"` with the appropriate path to your CSV file in the cloud storage.
If necessary, perform any data transformations or cleaning operations using Spark DataFrame APIs. This can include operations like filtering rows, casting column types, or handling missing values to prepare the data for use in the Lakehouse.
Finally, write the DataFrame to the Databricks Lakehouse. You can save it as a Delta table, which is optimized for Databricks. Use the following command:
```python
df.write.format("delta").saveAsTable("your_table_name")
```
Replace `"your_table_name"` with the desired name for your table in the Lakehouse. This command writes the data in an optimized format for fast queries and updates.
By following these steps, you can efficiently move data from a CSV file to a 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.
A CSV (Comma Separated Values) file is a type of plain text file that stores tabular data in a structured format. Each line in the file represents a row of data, and each value within a row is separated by a comma. CSV files are commonly used for exchanging data between different software applications, such as spreadsheets and databases. They are also used for importing and exporting data from web applications and for data analysis. CSV files can be easily opened and edited in any text editor or spreadsheet software, making them a popular choice for data storage and transfer.
CSV File gives access to various types of data in a structured format that can be easily integrated into various applications and systems.
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.
