embulk-input-mysql

MySQL input plugin for Embulk

MySQL input plugin for Embulk loads records from MySQL.

Overview

• Plugin type: input
• Resume supported: yes

Configuration

• host: database host name (string, required)
• port: database port number (integer, 3306)
• user: database login user name (string, required)
• password: database login password (string, default: "")
• database: destination database name (string, required)
• If you write SQL directly,
  • query: SQL to run (string)
• If query is not set,
  • table: destination table name (string, required)
  • select: expression of select (e.g. id, created_at) (string, default: "*")
  • where: WHERE condition to filter the rows (string, default: no-condition)
  • order_by: expression of ORDER BY to sort rows (e.g. created_at DESC, id ASC) (string, default: not sorted)
• fetch_rows: number of rows to fetch one time (integer, default: 10000)
  • If this value is set to > 1:
    • It uses a server-side prepared statement and fetches rows by chunks.
    • Internally, useCursorFetch=true is enabled and java.sql.Statement.setFetchSize is set to the configured value.
  • If this value is set to 1:
    • It uses a client-side built statement and fetches rows one by one.
    • Internally, useCursorFetch=false is used and java.sql.Statement.setFetchSize is set to Integer.MIN_VALUE.
  • If this value is set to -1:
    • It uses a client-side built statement and fetches all rows at once. This may cause OutOfMemoryError.
    • Internally, useCursorFetch=false is used and java.sql.Statement.setFetchSize is not set.
• connect_timeout: timeout for socket connect. 0 means no timeout. (integer (seconds), default: 300)
• socket_timeout: timeout on network socket operations. 0 means no timeout. (integer (seconds), default: 1800)
• options: extra JDBC properties (hash, default: {})
• incremental: if true, enables incremental loading. See next section for details (boolean, default: false)
• incremental_columns: column names for incremental loading (array of strings, default: use primary keys)
• last_record: values of the last record for incremental loading (array of objects, default: load all records)
• default_timezone: If the sql type of a column is date/time/datetime and the embulk type is string, column values are formatted int this default_timezone. You can overwrite timezone for each columns using column_options option. (string, default: UTC)
• column_options: advanced: a key-value pairs where key is a column name and value is options for the column.
  • value_type: embulk get values from database as this value_type. Typically, the value_type determines getXXX method of java.sql.PreparedStatement. (string, default: depends on the sql type of the column. Available values options are: long, double, float, decimal, boolean, string, json, date, time, timestamp)
  • type: Column values are converted to this embulk type. Available values options are: boolean, long, double, string, json, timestamp). By default, the embulk type is determined according to the sql type of the column (or value_type if specified).
  • timestamp_format: If the sql type of the column is date/time/datetime and the embulk type is string, column values are formatted by this timestamp_format. And if the embulk type is timestamp, this timestamp_format may be used in the output plugin. For example, stdout plugin use the timestamp_format, but csv formatter plugin doesn't use. (string, default : %Y-%m-%d for date, %H:%M:%S for time, %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S for timestamp)
  • timezone: If the sql type of the column is date/time/datetime and the embulk type is string, column values are formatted in this timezone. (string, value of default_timezone option is used by default)
• after_select: if set, this SQL will be executed after the SELECT query in the same transaction.

Incremental loading

Incremental loading uses monotonically increasing unique columns (such as AUTO_INCREMENT column) to load records inserted (or updated) after last execution.

First, if incremental: true is set, this plugin loads all records with additional ORDER BY. For example, if incremental_columns: [updated_at, id] option is set, query will be as following:

SELECT * FROM (
  ...original query is here...
)
ORDER BY updated_at, id

When bulk data loading finishes successfully, it outputs last_record: paramater as config-diff so that next execution uses it.

At the next execution, when last_record: is also set, this plugin generates additional WHERE conditions to load records larger than the last record. For example, if last_record: ["2017-01-01 00:32:12", 5291] is set,

SELECT * FROM (
  ...original query is here...
)
WHERE created_at > '2017-01-01 00:32:12' OR (created_at = '2017-01-01 00:32:12' AND id > 5291)
ORDER BY updated_at, id

Then, it updates last_record: so that next execution uses the updated last_record.

IMPORTANT: If you set incremental_columns: option, make sure that there is an index on the columns to avoid full table scan. For this example, following index should be created:

CREATE INDEX embulk_incremental_loading_index ON table (updated_at, id);

Recommended usage is to leave incremental_columns unset and let this plugin automatically finds an AUTO_INCREMENT primary key. Currently, only strings and integers are supported as incremental_columns.

Example

in:
  type: mysql
  host: localhost
  user: myuser
  password: ""
  database: my_database
  table: my_table
  select: "col1, col2, col3"
  where: "col4 != 'a'"
  order_by: "col1 DESC"

This configuration will generate following SQL:

SELECT col1, col2, col3
FROM `my_table`
WHERE col4 != 'a'
ORDER BY col1 DESC

If you need a complex SQL,

in:
  type: mysql
  host: localhost
  user: myuser
  password: ""
  database: my_database
  query: |
    SELECT t1.id, t1.name, t2.id AS t2_id, t2.name AS t2_name
    FROM table1 AS t1
    LEFT JOIN table2 AS t2
      ON t1.id = t2.t1_id

Advanced configuration:

in:
  type: mysql
  host: localhost
  user: myuser
  password: ""
  database: my_database
  table: "my_table"
  select: "col1, col2, col3"
  where: "col4 != 'a'"
  column_options:
    col1: {type: long}
    col3: {type: string, timestamp_format: "%Y/%m/%d", timezone: "+0900"}
  after_select: "update my_table set col5 = '1' where col4 != 'a'"

Build

$ ./gradlew gem

Running tests:

$ cp ci/travis_mysql.yml ci/mysql.yml  # edit this file if necessary
$ EMBULK_INPUT_MYSQL_TEST_CONFIG=`pwd`/ci/mysql.yml ./gradlew :embulk-input-mysql:check --info

This test data are expected by using 'UTC' as MySQL server's timezone. On the other hand, unit tests use 'Europe/Helsinki' as jdbc driver's session timezone.
