Predictable, straightforward pricing model that simplified budgeting and significantly reduced overall spend
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."
How to Sync to Manually
Identify the NASA datasets you wish to move. NASA provides various data portals, such as Earthdata, where you can access datasets. Ensure you have the necessary credentials or API keys to access these datasets if required.
Use tools like `wget` or `curl` to download the datasets directly to a local machine. For example, you can use:
```bash
wget -O local_file_name
```
Ensure that you have adequate local storage to hold the data before downloading.
Verify the integrity of the downloaded data and convert it into a format that's compatible with Databricks, such as CSV, JSON, or Parquet. Use data transformation tools like Python with pandas if any conversion is needed:
```python
import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_csv('local_file_name.csv')
df.to_parquet('local_file_name.parquet')
```
Log into your Databricks account and create a new cluster if you don't already have one. Ensure that your cluster is running and configured with the necessary permissions to access the workspace's FileStore.
Use Databricks' web interface to upload files directly to the FileStore. Navigate to the "Data" section, click on "Add Data," and follow the instructions to upload the prepared files. This will place the data in `/FileStore/tables/`.
Use a Databricks notebook to load the data from the FileStore into a Delta Lake table. For example:
```python
df = spark.read.format("parquet").load("/FileStore/tables/local_file_name.parquet")
df.write.format("delta").saveAsTable("nasa_data_table")
```
This step converts the data into a Delta Lake format, allowing for efficient querying and management.
Execute a few test queries to ensure the data has been correctly loaded into the Lakehouse:
```python
spark.sql("SELECT FROM nasa_data_table LIMIT 10").show()
```
Verify that the data structure matches your expectations and that all records have been successfully imported.
By following these steps, you can efficiently transfer and store NASA data within the Databricks Lakehouse environment without relying on third-party connectors.
