Load Presto Data to a Database Using Embulk

Embulk is an open source bulk data loader. When paired with the CData JDBC Driver for Presto, Embulk easily loads data from Presto to any supported destination. In this article, we explain how to use the CData JDBC Driver for Presto in Embulk to load Presto data to a MySQL dtabase.

With built-in optimized data processing, the CData JDBC Driver offers unmatched performance for interacting with live Presto data. When you issue complex SQL queries to Presto, the driver pushes supported SQL operations, like filters and aggregations, directly to Presto and utilizes the embedded SQL engine to process unsupported operations client-side (often SQL functions and JOIN operations).

Getting Started

---

Configure a JDBC Connection to Presto Data

Before creating a bulk load job in Embulk, note the installation location for the JAR file for the JDBC Driver (typically C:\Program Files\CData\CData JDBC Driver for Presto\lib).

Embulk supports JDBC connectivity, so you can easily connect to Presto and execute SQL queries. Before creating a bulk load job, create a JDBC URL for authenticating with Presto.

Set the Server and Port connection properties to connect, in addition to any authentication properties that may be required.

To enable TLS/SSL, set UseSSL to true.

Authenticating with LDAP

In order to authenticate with LDAP, set the following connection properties:

• AuthScheme: Set this to LDAP.
• User: The username being authenticated with in LDAP.
• Password: The password associated with the User you are authenticating against LDAP with.

Authenticating with Kerberos

In order to authenticate with KERBEROS, set the following connection properties:

• AuthScheme: Set this to KERBEROS.
• KerberosKDC: The Kerberos Key Distribution Center (KDC) service used to authenticate the user.
• KerberosRealm: The Kerberos Realm used to authenticate the user with.
• KerberosSPN: The Service Principal Name for the Kerberos Domain Controller.
• KerberosKeytabFile: The Keytab file containing your pairs of Kerberos principals and encrypted keys.
• User: The user who is authenticating to Kerberos.
• Password: The password used to authenticate to Kerberos.

Built-in Connection String Designer

For assistance in constructing the JDBC URL, use the connection string designer built into the Presto JDBC Driver. Either double-click the JAR file or execute the jar file from the command-line.

java -jar cdata.jdbc.presto.jar

Fill in the connection properties and copy the connection string to the clipboard.

Below is a typical JDBC connection string for Presto:

jdbc:presto:Server=127.0.0.1;Port=8080;

Load Presto Data in Embulk

After installing the CData JDBC Driver and creating a JDBC connection string, install the required Embulk plugins.

Install Embulk Input & Output Plugins

1. Install the JDBC Input Plugin in Embulk.
   https://github.com/embulk/embulk-input-jdbc/tree/master/embulk-input-jdbc

embulk gem install embulk-input-jdbc

2. In this article, we use MySQL as the destination database. You can also choose SQL Server, PostgreSQL, or Google BigQuery as the destination using the output Plugins.
   https://github.com/embulk/embulk-output-jdbc/tree/master/embulk-output-mysql

   embulk gem install embulk-output-mysql
   

With the input and output plugins installed, we are ready to load Presto data into MySQL using Embulk.

Create a Job to Load Presto Data

Start by creating a config file in Embulk, using a name like presto-mysql.yml.

1. For the input plugin options, use the CData JDBC Driver for Presto, including the path to the driver JAR file, the driver class (e.g. cdata.jdbc.presto.PrestoDriver), and the JDBC URL from above
2. For the output plugin options, use the values and credentials for the MySQL database

Sample Config File (presto-mysql.yml)

in:
	type: jdbc
	driver_path: C:\Program Files\CData[product_name] 20xx\lib\cdata.jdbc.presto.jar
	driver_class: cdata.jdbc.presto.PrestoDriver
	url: jdbc:presto:Server=127.0.0.1;Port=8080;
	table: "Customer"
out: 
	type: mysql
	host: localhost
	database: DatabaseName
	user: UserId
	password: UserPassword
	table: "Customer"
	mode: insert

After creating the file, run the Embulk job.

embulk run presto-mysql.yml

After running the the Embulk job, find the Salesforce data in the MySQL table.

Load Filtered Presto Data

In addition to loading data directly from a table, you can use a custom SQL query to have more granular control of the data loaded. You can also perform increment loads by setting a last updated column in a SQL WHERE clause in the query field.

in:
	type: jdbc
	driver_path: C:\Program Files\CData[product_name] 20xx\lib\cdata.jdbc.presto.jar
	driver_class: cdata.jdbc.presto.PrestoDriver
	url: jdbc:presto:Server=127.0.0.1;Port=8080;
	query: "SELECT FirstName, LastName FROM Customer WHERE [RecordId] = 1"
out: 
	type: mysql
	host: localhost
	database: DatabaseName
	user: UserId
	password: UserPassword
	table: "Customer"
	mode: insert
