Teiid Camel component
Hi,
We're considering implementing a Camel component for Teiid (http://teiid.io/)
and looking for your insights on some design aspects and general thoughts.
Teiid is a data virtualization engine that comes as in-place real-time
integration of heterogeneous data sources (~50). Teiid exposes them through
a SQL engine and ODATA REST endpoints. It is typically run as a server
being accessed by SQL clients.
Data sources supported by Teiid are pretty much a subset of what Camel
already supports, but the benefit we see is that it provides the SQL engine
to access them all in a unified way, which makes integrations more
straightforward than using custom APIs.
It is currently possible to use the sql-camel/jdbc-camel component to
connect to a running Teiid instance, but we are looking for a tighter
integration by providing a way to embed the Teiid engine in a Camel
component. It would simplify its usage.
Would you have any recommendations for writing such a component?
One aspect we need to consider is, if it would be possible to reuse somehow
an instance of Teiid within a route or across routes or share some of
Teiid's metadata so that we do not have to bring up an instance each time.
Finally, we have just started a similar conversion on the Teiid forum so,
if you are interested please also see

Yeah I also think its best to keep it in a new camel-teiid component.
You can still extend camel-sql, which we do for example in camel-elsql.

Hi!
Nice work! I tend to think lets just do the new teiid component. It keep
things more focused for things like the generated meta data for the SQL and
Teiid components.

Re: Re: Teiid Camel component
Posted by Rafal Korytkowski <rk...@redhat.com>.
Hey,
I'm pretty much done with a proof of concept, at which you can peek in this
commit
https://github.com/rkorytkowski/camel/commit/f66eea569963730032713c62f057a5685fea7089
.
I've basically extended the SQL component to support a new dataSources
parameter, where you can pass multiple data sources instead of one e.g.
.to("teiid:select url from projects inner join licenses on projects.license
= licenses.license where project = #?dataSources=dbProjects,dbLicenses")
https://github.com/rkorytkowski/camel/blob/TEIIDTOOLS-451/components/camel-teiid/src/test/java/org/apache/camel/component/sql/TeiidDataSourcesTest.java#L87-L90
Currently it's just for SQL data sources. Next I'm planning to add a way to
pass csv and Excel files.
It makes us wonder, if instead of introducing the new TEIID component,
would you approve this new parameter in the SQL component itself. The
feature would be more straightforward to discover
and use for people who know nothing about Teiid. The dependency on Teiid
would be optional and we would throw an exception, if Teiid was not on the
classpath, but the parameter was used.
Thoughts?

Yes that is correct as Andrea say. There are some components that
cannot work in OSGi or does not make sense.
However if possible we like to offer Camel components on as many
runtimes as possible. So the ServiceMix team
sometimes create OSGi bundles for 3rd party JARs that they release.
An alternative is the wrap mechanism but its not as good as a real OSGi bundle.

Not necessary. We can eventually wrap non OSGi-fied dependencies.

Re: Teiid Camel component

Hi Claus,
Thanks a lot for your guidance!
I've got one follow up question. Is it a strict requirement for component's
dependencies to be OSGI-fied?

Re: Teiid Camel component
Posted by Claus Ibsen <cl...@gmail.com>.
Hi Rafal
Welcome to the Camel community.
It sounds great with a camel-teiid component.
Writing a Camel component is very open ended and you have a lot of freedom.
In terms of how to embed Teiid engine then Camel has no restrictions.
If there is one instance in the JVM, then we can let Camel
auto-discover
and use the instance in the camel-teiid component, so the end user do
not have to explicit configure this wiring.
Camel has its Registry abstraction over for example Spring Boot /
ApplicationContext (bean registry) or CDI's BeanManager, or OSGi
Service Registry etc.
So what other components is doing is to lookup in this registry if
there is a single instance of a specific class type, and then use
that.
There is a little guide here how to add a new Camel component
http://camel.apache.org/add-new-component-guide.html
We do have a maven archetype to create a new camel component project,
or what other people sometimes do is to copy an existing component and
then delete/modify its source code.
