Delta lake ingestion

Overview

The Delta Lake table connector for Apache Pinot, allows ingestion, and syncing of an existing Delta Lake table into Apache Pinot. The DeltaLake connector leverages the Pinot Minion task framework, along with the delta lake java connector to ingest Delta Lake table data into Pinot, and subsequently keeping it in sync with the latest state of the Delta Table, ensuring any additions / updations / deletions to the source table are reflected automatically into the corresponding Pinot table. Once enabled, a scheduled task will run and check for any changes in the source delta table, and trigger minion tasks that will eventually update the Pinot table.

Table configurations

A Pinot table can be enabled to ingest data from an existing Delta Table by enabling the DeltaTableIngestionTask. The task can be enabled by adding the following to the table config.

"task": {
    "taskTypeConfigsMap": {
        "DeltaTableIngestionTask": {
            "delta.ingestion.table.fs": "S3",
            "delta.ingestion.table.s3.accessKey": "<key>",
            "delta.ingestion.table.s3.secretKey": "<secret>",
            "delta.ingestion.table.s3.region": "<region>",
            "delta.ingestion.table.uri": "s3a://<deltaTablePath>",
            "tableMaxNumTasks": "1",
            "schedule": "0 20 * ? * * *"
        }
    }
},

The properties in the task config are defined as follows:

Property Name	Required	Description
delta.ingestion.table.fs	Yes	The filesystem where delta table is stored (Only S3 supported as of now).
delta.ingestion.table.s3.accessKey	No	Credentials to access the S3 bucket and path
delta.ingestion.table.s3.secretKey	No	Credentials to access the S3 bucket and path
delta.ingestion.table.s3.region	Yes	AWS Region where S3 bucket is located.
delta.ingestion.table.uri	Yes	The path where the delta table is stored
tableMaxNumTasks	No	The maximum number of minion tasks to trigger per run. Setting this to 1 ensures all pinot table updates are always atomic wrt the delta table's state (default = 1)
schedule	No	CRON per Quartz cron syntax (opens in a new tab) for when the job will be routinely triggered. If not set, the task is not cron scheduled but can still be triggered via endpoint /tasks/schedule.

Once enabled, the sync will start as per the schedule set, and will read the delta table transaction logs to identify added and removed files in the delta table. It'll then trigger minion tasks to update the Pinot table accordingly.
