Apache Presto - KAFKA Connector

---

---

The Kafka Connector for Presto allows to access data from Apache Kafka using Presto.

Prerequisites

Download and install the latest version of the following Apache projects.

• Apache ZooKeeper
• Apache Kafka

Start ZooKeeper

Start ZooKeeper server using the following command.

$ bin/zookeeper-server-start.sh config/zookeeper.properties

Now, ZooKeeper starts port on 2181.

Start Kafka

Start Kafka in another terminal using the following command.

$ bin/kafka-server-start.sh config/server.properties

After kafka starts, it uses the port number 9092.

TPCH Data

Download tpch-kafka

$  curl -o kafka-tpch 
https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/de/softwareforge/kafka_tpch_0811/1.0/kafka_tpch_ 
0811-1.0.sh 

Now you have downloaded the loader from Maven central using the above command. You will get a similar response as the following.

 ..

Then, make it executable using the following command,

$ chmod 755 kafka-tpch

Run tpch-kafka

Run the kafka-tpch program to preload a number of topics with tpch data using the following command.

Query

$ ./kafka-tpch load --brokers localhost:9092 --prefix tpch. --tpch-type tiny 

Result

2016-07-13T16:15:52.083+0530 INFO main io.airlift.log.Logging Logging

2016-07-13T16:15:52.124+0530 INFO main de.softwareforge.kafka.LoadCommand

.

Now, Kafka tables customers,orders,supplier, etc., are loaded using tpch.

Add Config Settings

Lets add the following Kafka connector configuration settings on Presto server.

connector.name = kafka  

kafka.nodes = localhost:9092  

kafka.table-names = tpch.customer,tpch.orders,tpch.lineitem,tpch.part,tpch.partsupp, 
tpch.supplier,tpch.nation,tpch.region  

kafka.hide-internal-columns = false 

In the above configuration, Kafka tables are loaded using Kafka-tpch program.

Start Presto CLI

Start Presto CLI using the following command,

$ ./presto --server localhost:8080 --catalog kafka schema tpch;

Here tpch" is a schema for Kafka connector and you will receive a response as the following.

presto:tpch>

List Tables

Following query lists out all the tables in tpch schema.

Query

presto:tpch> show tables;

Result

  Table 
---------- 
 customer 
 lineitem 
 nation 
 orders
 part 
 partsupp 
 region 
 supplier 

Describe Customer Table

Following query describes customer table.

Query

presto:tpch> describe customer; 

Result
