"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."
Start by exporting the data you need from Google Directory. You can do this by using Google Admin SDK Directory API. Develop a script in Python or a similar language to authenticate and extract the required data. Use OAuth 2.0 for authentication to access the Google Directory and retrieve user, group, or organizational unit data in a JSON or CSV format.
Once the data is extracted, store it locally on your machine in a structured format like CSV or JSON. Ensure the data is clean and properly formatted. This may involve removing unnecessary fields, correcting data types, or filling in missing values to make it compatible with Databricks Lakehouse.
Establish a secure method to transfer your local data files to a cloud storage service that Databricks can access. Consider using a secure protocol like SCP (Secure Copy Protocol) to upload your files to a cloud-based storage solution such as AWS S3, Azure Blob Storage, or Google Cloud Storage, depending on your Databricks deployment.
Use the cloud provider's CLI or console to upload the prepared data files to the chosen cloud storage bucket. Ensure that you have set the appropriate permissions so that Databricks can access these files. For instance, if using AWS S3, set the bucket policy to allow read access from your Databricks cluster.
Log in to your Databricks account and navigate to your workspace. Set up a new cluster if needed, ensuring it has the necessary permissions and configurations to access the cloud storage where your data is stored. Install any necessary libraries or dependencies that may be required to process the data format you uploaded.
In Databricks, use the built-in functionality to read data from your cloud storage. For example, if your data is in AWS S3, use Databricks' `spark.read` function with the appropriate format and path to load the data into a DataFrame. Verify that the data has been loaded correctly by displaying a sample of the data within a Databricks notebook.
Once the data is loaded into a DataFrame, perform any necessary transformations using Apache Spark's DataFrame API. This might include operations like filtering, aggregation, or joining with other datasets. After processing, write the transformed data to a table in the Databricks Lakehouse, using a format like Delta Lake that supports transactional operations and efficient querying.
By following these steps, you can effectively move data from Google Directory 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.
Google (Workspace) Directory is, simply put, a user management system for Google Workspace. It allows IT admins to manage users’ access, facilitates and governs user sign-ons, and, ultimately, is meant to enable users to sign in to multiple Google services through one Google identity. Other features include the ability to monitor devices connected to a business’s domain, manage organizations’ structures, audit applications to which users have approved access, and revoke unauthorized apps.
Google Directory's API provides access to a wide range of data related to the Google Directory service. The API allows developers to retrieve information about various categories of data, including:
- Directory listings: Information about businesses, organizations, and other entities listed in the Google Directory.
- Categories: The different categories and subcategories used to organize listings in the directory.
- Reviews and ratings: User-generated reviews and ratings for businesses and other entities listed in the directory.
- Contact information: Phone numbers, addresses, and other contact information for businesses and organizations listed in the directory.
- Images and videos: Images and videos associated with listings in the directory.
- User profiles: Information about users who have contributed reviews and ratings to the directory.
Overall, the Google Directory API provides developers with a wealth of data that can be used to build applications and services that leverage the information contained in the directory.
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.
