What our users say
Andre Exner
"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."
Begin by setting up an Apache Iceberg environment. You will need a compatible compute engine like Apache Spark or Apache Flink. Install the necessary Apache Iceberg libraries for your chosen engine and ensure it is properly configured to interact with your storage layer, such as Amazon S3, HDFS, or a local filesystem.
Configure a Jenkins job to export the data you need. This could involve creating a job that extracts data from your sources (e.g., databases, files) and writes it to a temporary storage location. Use shell scripts, Python scripts, or Jenkins Pipeline scripts to automate this process. Ensure the exported data is in a format compatible with Apache Iceberg, such as Parquet or Avro.
Once the data is exported, prepare it for ingestion into Apache Iceberg. This may involve converting the data format, ensuring schema compatibility, or partitioning the data. Use tools like Apache Spark to transform the data if necessary, ensuring it adheres to the schema and partitioning strategy you plan to use with Iceberg.
Define the schema for your Iceberg table. Use your compute engine's capabilities to create an Iceberg table with the appropriate schema and partitioning. This step involves specifying column data types and any partitioning strategies that will optimize query performance and data organization.
Use your compute engine to write the prepared data into the Apache Iceberg table. For Spark, this involves reading the prepared data and using a `write` operation to insert it into the Iceberg table. Ensure the write operation is configured to handle any necessary options like overwrite or append modes.
After ingestion, verify that the data has been correctly moved into the Iceberg table. Use your compute engine to query the Iceberg table and validate the data's integrity, schema, and partitioning. Check for any discrepancies or errors in the data.
Once the process is verified, automate the entire workflow using Jenkins. Create a Jenkins Pipeline that orchestrates the data extraction, preparation, and ingestion steps. Schedule the job to run at desired intervals, ensuring that new data is consistently moved into your Iceberg tables. Use Jenkins' notification capabilities to alert you of any job failures or issues.
By following these steps, you can effectively move data from Jenkins to Apache Iceberg without relying on third-party connectors or integrations, ensuring a seamless and automated data pipeline.
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.
Jenkins is an open-source automation server. It helps automate parts of software development that facilitate build, test, and deployment, continuous integration, and continuous delivery. It is a server-based system that runs in servlet containers such as Apache Tomcat. It supports version control tools including AccuRev, CVS, Subversion, Git, Mercurial, Perforce, Clear Case, and RTC, and can execute arbitrary shell scripts and Windows batch commands alongside Apache Ant, Apache Maven and etc.
Jenkins is an open-source automation server that provides a wide range of APIs to access data related to the build process. The Jenkins API provides access to various types of data, including:
1. Build Data: Information about the build process, such as build status, build duration, build logs, and build artifacts.
2. Job Data: Information about the jobs, such as job status, job configuration, job parameters, and job history.
3. Node Data: Information about the nodes, such as node status, node configuration, and node availability.
4. User Data: Information about the users, such as user details, user permissions, and user activity.
5. Plugin Data: Information about the plugins, such as plugin details, plugin configuration, and plugin compatibility.
6. System Data: Information about the Jenkins system, such as system configuration, system logs, and system health.
7. Queue Data: Information about the build queue, such as queued jobs, queue status, and queue history.
Overall, the Jenkins API provides a comprehensive set of data that can be used to monitor, analyze, and optimize the build process.
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.
