@Experimental(value=SOURCE_SINK)
public class HCatalogIO
extends java.lang.Object

IO to read and write data using HCatalog.

Reading using HCatalog

HCatalog source supports reading of HCatRecord from a HCatalog managed source, for eg. Hive.

To configure a HCatalog source, you must specify a metastore URI and a table name. Other optional parameters are database & filter For instance:


 Map<String, String> configProperties = new HashMap<String, String>();
 configProperties.put("hive.metastore.uris","thrift://metastore-host:port");

 pipeline
   .apply(HCatalogIO.read()
       .withConfigProperties(configProperties)
       .withDatabase("default") //optional, assumes default if none specified
       .withTable("employee")
       .withFilter(filterString) //optional, may be specified if the table is partitioned

Writing using HCatalog

HCatalog sink supports writing of HCatRecord to a HCatalog managed source, for eg. Hive.

To configure a HCatalog sink, you must specify a metastore URI and a table name. Other optional parameters are database, partition & batchsize The destination table should exist beforehand, the transform does not create a new table if it does not exist For instance:


 Map<String, String> configProperties = new HashMap<String, String>();
 configProperties.put("hive.metastore.uris","thrift://metastore-host:port");

 pipeline
   .apply(...)
   .apply(HCatalogIO.write()
       .withConfigProperties(configProperties)
       .withDatabase("default") //optional, assumes default if none specified
       .withTable("employee")
       .withPartition(partitionValues) //optional, may be specified if the table is partitioned
       .withBatchSize(1024L)) //optional, assumes a default batch size of 1024 if none specified
