Scala Example Code

Scenario

This section provides Scala example code that demonstrates how to use a Spark job to access data from the GaussDB(DWS) data source.

A datasource connection has been created and bound to a queue on the DLI management console. For details, see Enhanced Datasource Connections.

Hard-coded or plaintext passwords pose significant security risks. To ensure security, encrypt your passwords, store them in configuration files or environment variables, and decrypt them when needed.

    )"
    )
    
    Table 1 Parameters for creating a table

    Parameter

    Description

    url

    To obtain a GaussDB(DWS) IP address, you need to create a datasource connection first. Refer to Data Lake Insight User Guide for more information.

    After a basic datasource connection is created, the returned IP address is used.

    After an enhanced datasource connection is created, you can use the JDBC connection string (intranet) provided by GaussDB(DWS) or the intranet IP address and port number to connect to GaussDB(DWS). The format is protocol header://internal IP address:internal network port number/database name, for example: jdbc:postgresql://192.168.0.77:8000/postgres. For details about how to obtain the value, see GaussDB(DWS) cluster information.

    NOTE:

    The GaussDB(DWS) IP address is in the following format: protocol header://IP address:port number/database name

    Example:

    jdbc:postgresql://to-dws-1174405119-ihlUr78j.datasource.com:8000/postgres

    If you want to connect to a database created in GaussDB(DWS), change postgres to the corresponding database name in this connection.

    passwdauth

    Name of datasource authentication of the password type created on DLI. If datasource authentication is used, you do not need to set the username and password for jobs.

    dbtable

    Tables in the PostgreSQL database.

    partitionColumn

    This parameter is used to set the numeric field used concurrently when data is read.

    NOTE:
    • The partitionColumn, lowerBound, upperBound, and numPartitions parameters must be set at the same time.
    • To improve the concurrent read performance, you are advised to use auto-increment columns.

    lowerBound

    Minimum value of a column specified by partitionColumn. The value is contained in the returned result.

    upperBound

    Maximum value of a column specified by partitionColumn. The value is not contained in the returned result.

    numPartitions

    Number of concurrent read operations.

    NOTE:

    When data is read, lowerBound and upperBound are evenly allocated to each task to obtain data. Example:

    'partitionColumn'='id',

    'lowerBound'='0',

    'upperBound'='100',

    'numPartitions'='2'

    Two concurrent tasks are started in DLI. The execution ID of one task is greater than or equal to 0 and the ID is less than 50, and the execution ID of the other task is greater than or equal to 50 and the ID is less than 100.

    fetchsize

    Number of data records obtained in each batch during data reading. The default value is 1000. If this parameter is set to a large value, the performance is good but more memory is occupied. If this parameter is set to a large value, memory overflow may occur.

    batchsize

    Number of data records written in each batch. The default value is 1000. If this parameter is set to a large value, the performance is good but more memory is occupied. If this parameter is set to a large value, memory overflow may occur.

    truncate

    Indicates whether to clear the table without deleting the original table when overwrite is executed. The options are as follows:

    • true
    • false

    The default value is false, indicating that the original table is deleted and then a new table is created when the overwrite operation is performed.

    isolationLevel

    Transaction isolation level. The options are as follows:

    • NONE
    • READ_UNCOMMITTED
    • READ_COMMITTED
    • REPEATABLE_READ
    • SERIALIZABLE

    The default value is READ_UNCOMMITTED.

  2. Insert data
    1
    sparkSession.sql("insert into dli_to_dws values(1, 'John',24),(2, 'Bob',32)")
    
  3. Query data
    1
    2
    val dataFrame = sparkSession.sql("select * from dli_to_dws")
    dataFrame.show()
    

    Before data is inserted:

    Response:

  4. Delete the datasource connection table.
    1
    sparkSession.sql("drop table dli_to_dws")
    

Accessing a Data Source Using a DataFrame API

  1. Set connection parameters.

    val url = "jdbc:postgresql://to-dws-1174405057-EA1Kgo8H.datasource.com:8000/postgres"
    val username = "dbadmin"
    val password = "######"
    val dbtable = "customer"
    
  2. Create a DataFrame, add data, and rename fields
    1
    2
    3
    4
    var dataFrame_1 = sparkSession.createDataFrame(List((8, "Jack_1", 18)))
    val df = dataFrame_1.withColumnRenamed("_1", "id")
                        .withColumnRenamed("_2", "name")
                        .withColumnRenamed("_3", "age")
    
  3. Import data to GaussDB(DWS).

    7
    df.write.format("jdbc")
      .option("url", url)
      .option("dbtable", dbtable)
      .option("user", username)
      .option("password", password)
      .mode(SaveMode.Append)
      .save()
    

    The options of SaveMode can be one of the following:

    • ErrorIfExis: If the data already exists, the system throws an exception.
    • Overwrite: If the data already exists, the original data will be overwritten.
    • Append: If the data already exists, the system saves the new data.
    • Ignore: If the data already exists, no operation is required. This is similar to the SQL statement CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS.
  4. Read data from GaussDB(DWS).
    • Method 1: read.format()
      1
      2
      3
      4
      5
      6
      val jdbcDF = sparkSession.read.format("jdbc")
                       .option("url", url)
                       .option("dbtable", dbtable)
                       .option("user", username)
                       .option("password", password)
                       .load()
      
    • Method 2: read.jdbc()
      1
      2
      3
      4
      val properties = new Properties()
       properties.put("user", username)
       properties.put("password", password)
       val jdbcDF2 = sparkSession.read.jdbc(url, dbtable, properties)
      

    Before data is inserted:

    Response:

    The dateFrame read by the read.format() or read.jdbc() method is registered as a temporary table. Then, you can use SQL statements to query data.

    1
    2
    jdbcDF.registerTempTable("customer_test")
     sparkSession.sql("select * from customer_test where id = 1").show()
    

    Query results

DataFrame-Related Operations

The data created by the createDataFrame() method and the data queried by the read.format() method and the read.jdbc() method are all DataFrame objects. You can directly query a single record. (In Accessing a Data Source Using a DataFrame API, the DataFrame data is registered as a temporary table.)

  • where

    The where statement can be combined with filter expressions such as AND and OR. The DataFrame object after filtering is returned. The following is an example:

    1
    jdbcDF.where("id = 1 or age <=10").show()
    

  • filter

    The filter statement can be used in the same way as where. The DataFrame object after filtering is returned. The following is an example:

    1
    jdbcDF.filter("id = 1 or age <=10").show()
    

  • select

    The select statement is used to query the DataFrame object of the specified field. Multiple fields can be queried.

    • Example 1:
      1
      jdbcDF.select("id").show()
      

    • Example 2:
      1
      jdbcDF.select("id", "name").show()
      

    • Example 3:
      1
      jdbcDF.select("id","name").where("id<4").show()
      

  • selectExpr

    The selectExpr statement is used to perform special processing on a field. For example, it can be used to change the field name. The following is an example:

    If you want to set the name field to name_test and add 1 to the value of age, run the following statement:

    1
    jdbcDF.selectExpr("id", "name as name_test", "age+1").show()
    
  • col

    col is used to obtain a specified field. Different from select, col can only be used to query the column type and one field can be returned at a time. The following is an example:

    1
    val idCol = jdbcDF.col("id")
    
  • drop

    drop is used to delete a specified field. Specify a field you need to delete (only one field can be deleted at a time), the DataFrame object that does not contain the field is returned. The following is an example:

    1
    jdbcDF.drop("id").show()
    

Submitting a Job

  1. Generate a JAR file based on the code and upload the file to DLI.

    For details about console operations, see Creating a Package. For details about API operations, see Uploading a Package Group.

  2. In the Spark job editor, select the corresponding dependency module and execute the Spark job.

    For details about console operations, see Creating a Spark Job. For details about API operations, see Creating a Batch Processing Job.
