首页 > 解决方案 > Python:如何使用 Apache Beam 连接到雪花?

问题描述

我看到 BigQuery 有一个内置的 I/O 连接器,但我们的很多数据都存储在 Snowflake 中。是否有连接到 Snowflake 的解决方法?我唯一能想到的就是使用 sqlalchemy 运行查询,然后将输出转储到 Cloud Storage Buckets,然后 Apache-Beam 可以从存储在 Bucket 中的文件中获取输入数据。

解决方案


最近向 Beam 添加了 Snowflake Python 和 Java 连接器。

目前(2.24 版)它仅支持apache_beam.io.external.snowflake.

在 2.25 版本中,WriteToSnowflake 也将在apache_beam.io.snowflake模块中提供。您仍然可以使用旧路径,但在此版本中将被视为已弃用。

目前它仅在 Flink Runner 上运行,但正在努力使其也可用于其他运行器。

此外,它是一种跨语言转换,因此可能需要一些额外的设置 - 它在此处的 pydoc 中有很好的记录(我将其粘贴在下面): https ://github.com/apache/beam/blob/release-2.24 .0/sdks/python/apache_beam/io/external/snowflake.py

Snowflake transforms tested against Flink portable runner.
  **Setup**
  Transforms provided in this module are cross-language transforms
  implemented in the Beam Java SDK. During the pipeline construction, Python SDK
  will connect to a Java expansion service to expand these transforms.
  To facilitate this, a small amount of setup is needed before using these
  transforms in a Beam Python pipeline.
  There are several ways to setup cross-language Snowflake transforms.
  * Option 1: use the default expansion service
  * Option 2: specify a custom expansion service
  See below for details regarding each of these options.
  *Option 1: Use the default expansion service*
  This is the recommended and easiest setup option for using Python Snowflake
  transforms.This option requires following pre-requisites
  before running the Beam pipeline.
  * Install Java runtime in the computer from where the pipeline is constructed
    and make sure that 'java' command is available.
  In this option, Python SDK will either download (for released Beam version) or
  build (when running from a Beam Git clone) a expansion service jar and use
  that to expand transforms. Currently Snowflake transforms use the
  'beam-sdks-java-io-expansion-service' jar for this purpose.
  *Option 2: specify a custom expansion service*
  In this option, you startup your own expansion service and provide that as
  a parameter when using the transforms provided in this module.
  This option requires following pre-requisites before running the Beam
  pipeline.
  * Startup your own expansion service.
  * Update your pipeline to provide the expansion service address when
    initiating Snowflake transforms provided in this module.
  Flink Users can use the built-in Expansion Service of the Flink Runner's
  Job Server. If you start Flink's Job Server, the expansion service will be
  started on port 8097. For a different address, please set the
  expansion_service parameter.

Snowflake(与大多数便携式 IO 一样)有自己的 java 扩展服务,当您没有指定自己的自定义服务时,它应该会自动下载。我不认为应该需要它,但我只是为了安全起见才提到它。您可以下载 jar 并启动它,java -jar <PATH_TO_JAR> <PORT>然后将其传递给 snowflake.ReadFromSnowflake as expansion_service='localhost:<PORT>'。链接到 2.24 版本:https ://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.beam/beam-sdks-java-io-snowflake-expansion-service/2.24.0

请注意,它仍处于试验阶段,您可以随时报告 Beam Jira 上的问题。
