Reflect MySQL updates into Hive
Hi All,
We are new to hadoop and hive, we are trying to use hive to
run analytical queries and we are using sqoop to import data into hive, in
our RDBMS the data updated very frequently and this needs to be reflected
to hive. Hive does not support update/delete but there are many workarounds
to do this task.
What's in our mind is importing all the tables into hive as is, then we
build the required tables for reporting.
My questions are:
1. What is the best way to reflect MySQL updates into Hive with minimal
resources?
2. Is sqoop the right tool to do the ETL?
3. Is Hive the right tool to do this kind of queries or we should search
for alternatives?
Any hint will be useful, thanks in advanced.

My problem is in eliminating the duplicates and only keep the correct data,
any advise please?

Re: Reflect MySQL updates into Hive

Looks good, but a few suggestions. If you can eliminate duplicates, etc. as
you ingest the data into HDFS, that would eliminate a cleansing step. Note
that if the target directory in HDFS IS the specified location for an
external Hive table/partition, then there will be no separate step to "load
in Hive as External Table". It's already there!
Your "transform data..." is a common pattern; stage "raw" data into a
location, then use Hive (or Pig) to transform it into the final form and
INSERT INTO the final Hive table.

Re: Reflect MySQL updates into Hive

Thanks Dean for the great reply, setting incremental import should be easy,
if I partitioned my data how hive will get me the updated rows only
considering that the row may have multiple fields that will be updated over
time? and how will I manage the tables that based on multiple sources? and
do you recommend to import the data to HDFS instead of Hive directly? Won't
we have a lot of duplicated records then?
Regarding automation we were thinking to use sqoop-job command or crons as
you suggested.
So, the suggested flow as follows:
MySQL ---(Extract / Load)---> HDFS (Table/Year/Month/Day) ---> Load in Hive
as External Table ---(Transform Data & Join Tables)--> Save it in Hive
tables for reporting.
Correct?
Appreciated.

Thanks Mohammad, I will be waiting ... meanwhile, seems I will get into

Hello Ibrahim,
Sorry for the late response. Those replies were for Kshiva. I
saw his question(exactly same as this one) multiple times on Pig mailing
list as well, so just thought of giving some pointers to him on how to use
the list. I should have specified it properly. Apologies for creating the
nuisance.
Coming back to the actual point, yes the flow is fine. Normally people do
it like this. But I was looking for some alternate way, so that we don't
have to go through this long process for the updates. I'll let you know
once I find something useful. But till now I haven't found anything better
than whatever Dean sir has suggested. Please, do let me know if you find
something before me.
Many thanks.

Re: Reflect MySQL updates into Hive
Posted by Ibrahim Yakti <iy...@souq.com>.
After more reading, a suggested scenario looks like:
MySQL ---(Extract / Load)---> HDFS ---> Load into HBase --> Read as
external in Hive ---(Transform Data & Join Tables)--> Use hive for Joins &
Queries ---> Update HBase as needed & Reload in Hive.
What do you think please?

Re: Reflect MySQL updates into Hive
Posted by Ibrahim Yakti <iy...@souq.com>.
Mohammad, I am not sure if the answers & the link were to me or to Kshiva's
question.
if I have partitioned my data based on status for example, when I run the
update query it will add the updated data on a new partition (success or
shipped for example) and it will keep the old data (confirmed or paid for
example), right?

Re: Reflect MySQL updates into Hive
Posted by Dean Wampler <de...@thinkbiganalytics.com>.
This is not as hard as it sounds. The hardest part is setting up the
incremental query against your MySQL database. Then you can write the
results to new files in the HDFS directory for the table and Hive will see
them immediately. Yes, even though Hive doesn't support updates, it doesn't
care how many files are in the directory. The trick is to avoid lots of
little files.
As others have suggested, you should consider partitioning the data,
perhaps by time. Say you import about a few HDFS blocks-worth of data each
day, then use year/month/day partitioning to speed up your Hive queries.
You'll need to add the partitions to the table as you go, but actually, you
can add those once a month, for example, for all partitions. Hive doesn't
care if the partition directories don't exist yet or the directories are
empty. I also recommend using an external table, which gives you more
flexibility on directory layout, etc.
Sqoop might be the easiest tool for importing the data, as it will even
generate a Hive table schema from the original MySQL table. However, that
feature may not be useful in this case, as you already have the table.
I think Oozie is horribly complex to use and overkill for this purpose. A
simple bash script triggered periodically by cron is all you need. If you
aren't using a partitioned table, you have a single sqoop command to run.
If you have partitioned data, you'll also need a hive statement in the
script to create the partition, unless you do those in batch once a month,
etc., etc.
Hope this helps,
dean

What if you have many columns that need to be updated? a simple example:
confirmation date, payment status(es) + status update time, delivery, ...
etc ? on what base you will set your partition and how the old data will
be removed because the updated data will be reloaded in other partition if
I partition using payment status for example.

Bottom line: use sqoop to import data into HBase/Cassandra for storage and
use Hive to query the data using external tables, did I miss anything?

Re: Reflect MySQL updates into Hive
Posted by Edward Capriolo <ed...@gmail.com>.
Hive can not easily handle updates. The most creative way I saw this done
was someone managed to capture all updates and then use union queries which
rewrote the same hive table with the newest value.
original + union delta + column with latest timestamp = new original
But that is a lot of processing especially when you may not have man
updates. Hive has storage handlers that let you lay a table over hbase and
cassandra data. Store your data in those systems, they take updates, then
use hive to query those.

Re: Reflect MySQL updates into Hive
Posted by Edward Capriolo <ed...@gmail.com>.
You can only do the last_update idea if this is an insert only dataset.
If your table takes updates you need a different strategy.
1) full dumps every interval.
2) Using a storage handler like hbase or cassandra that takes update
operations

Re: Reflect MySQL updates into Hive
Posted by Jeremiah Peschka <je...@gmail.com>.
If it were me, I would find a way to identify the partitions that have
modified data and then re-load a subset of the partitions (only the ones
with changes) on a regular basis. Instead of updating/deleting data, you'll
be re-loading specific partitions as an all or nothing action.

This already done, but Hive does not support update nor deletion of data,
so when I import the data after specific "last_update_time" records, hive
will append it not replace.

Re: Reflect MySQL updates into Hive

You can use Apache Oozie to schedule your imports.
Alternatively, you can have an additional column in your SQL table, say
LastUpdatedTime or something. As soon as there is a change in this column
you can start the import from this point. This way you don't have to import
all the things everytime there is a change in your table. You just have to
move only the most recent data, say only the 'delta' amount of data.

My question was how to reflect MySQL updates to hadoop/hive, this is our

Cool. Then go ahead :)
Just in case you need something in realtime, you can have a look at
Impala.(I know nobody likes to get preached, but just in case ;) ).

Thanks Mohammad, No, we do not have any plans to replace our RDBMS with
Hive. Hadoop/Hive will be used as Data Warehouse & batch processing
computing, as I said we want to use Hive for analytical queries.

Hello Ibrahim,
A quick questio. Are you planning to replace your SQL DB with Hive? If
that is the case, I would not suggest to do that. Both are meant for
entirely different purposes. Hive is for batch processing and not for real
time system. So if you are requirements involve real time things, you need
to think before moving ahead.
Yes, Sqoop is 'the' tool. It is primarily meant for this purpose.
