Exporting ORC Data from a GaussDB(DWS) Cluster to an MRS Cluster

Preparing the Environment

Create a GaussDB(DWS) cluster. Ensure that the MRS and GaussDB(DWS) clusters are in the same region, AZ, and VPC subnet and that the clusters can communicate with each other.

Creating an MRS Cluster

1. Log in to the HUAWEI CLOUD console, choose Analytics > MapReduce Service and click Buy Cluster. Click the Custom Config tab, configure software parameters, and click Next.

   Table 1 Software configuration

   Parameter	Example Value
   Region	CN-Hong Kong
   Cluster Name	mrs_01
   Cluster Version	MRS 1.9.2 (recommended) NOTE: For clusters of version 8.1.1.300 and later, MRS clusters support versions 1.6.*, 1.7.*, 1.8.*, 1.9.*, 2.0.*, 3.0.*, 3.1.*, and later (* indicates a number). For clusters earlier than version 8.1.1.300, MRS clusters support versions 1.6.*, 1.7.*, 1.8.*, 1.9.*, and 2.0.* (* indicates a number).
   Cluster Type	Analysis Cluster

2. Configure hardware parameters and click Next.

   Table 2 Hardware configuration

   Parameter	Example Value
   Billing Mode	Pay-per-use
   AZ	AZ2
   VPC	vpc-01
   Subnet	subnet-01
   Security Group	Auto create
   EIP	10.x.x.x
   Enterprise Project	default
   Master	2
   Analysis Core	3
   Analysis Task	0

3. Configure the advanced settings based on the following table, click Buy Now, and wait for about 15 minutes for the cluster creation to complete.

   Table 3 Advanced settings

   Parameter	Example Value
   Tag	test01
   Hostname Prefix	(Optional) Prefix for the name of an ECS or BMS in the cluster.
   Auto Scaling	Retain the default value.
   Bootstrap Action	Retain the default value. MRS 3.x does not support this parameter.
   Agency	Retain the default value.
   Data Disk Encryption	This function is disabled by default. Retain the default value.
   Alarm	Retain the default value.
   Rule Name	Retain the default value.
   Topic Name	Select a topic.
   Kerberos Authentication	This parameter is enabled by default.
   User Name	admin
   Password	This password is used to log in to the cluster management page.
   Confirm Password	Enter the password of user admin again.
   Login Mode	Password
   User Name	root
   Password	This password is used to remotely log in to the ECS.
   Confirm Password	Enter the password of user root again.
   Secure Communications	Select Enable.

Creating an MRS Cluster Connection

1. Log in to the GaussDB(DWS) console and click the created data warehouse cluster. Ensure that the GaussDB(DWS) and MRS clusters are in the same region, AZ, and VPC subnet.
2. Click the MRS Data Source tab and click Create MRS Cluster Connection.
3. Select data source mrs_01 created in the previous step, enter the MRS account name admin and its password, and click OK.

   

Creating a Foreign Server

1. Use Data Studio to connect to the created GaussDB(DWS) cluster.
2. Create a user dbuser that has the permission for creating databases.

   1	CREATE USER dbuser WITH CREATEDB PASSWORD 'password';

3. Switch to user dbuser.

   1	SET ROLE dbuser PASSWORD 'password';

4. Create a database mydatabase.

   1	CREATE DATABASE mydatabase;

5. Perform the following steps to switch to database mydatabase:
   1. In the Object Browser window of the Data Studio client, right-click the database connection and choose Refresh from the shortcut menu. Then, the new database is displayed.
   2. Right-click the database name mydatabase and select Connect to DB from the shortcut menu.
   3. Right-click the database name mydatabase and select Open Terminal from the shortcut menu. The SQL command window for connecting to a database is displayed. Perform the following steps in the window.

6. Grant the permission to create external servers to user dbuser. In 8.1.1 and later versions, you also need to grant the permission to use the public mode.

   1 2	GRANT ALL ON FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER hdfs_fdw TO dbuser; In GRANT ALL ON SCHEMA public TO dbuser; //8.1.1 and later versions, common users do not have permission on the public mode and need to grant permission. In versions earlier than 8.1.1, you do not need to perform this operation.

   The name of FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER must be hdfs_fdw. dbuser indicates the username of CREATE SERVER.

7. Grant user dbuser the permission for using foreign tables.

   1	ALTER USER dbuser USEFT;

8. Switch to the Postgres database and query the foreign server automatically created by the system after the MRS data source is created.

   1	SELECT * FROM pg_foreign_server;

   Information similar to the following is displayed:

   1 2 3 4 5 6

   srvname | srvowner | srvfdw | srvtype | srvversion | srvacl | srvoptions --------------------------------------------------+----------+--------+---------+------------+--------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- gsmpp_server | 10 | 13673 | | | | gsmpp_errorinfo_server | 10 | 13678 | | | | hdfs_server_8f79ada0_d998_4026_9020_80d6de2692ca | 16476 | 13685 | | | | {"address=192.168.1.245:9820,192.168.1.218:9820",hdfscfgpath=/MRS/8f79ada0-d998-4026-9020-80d6de2692ca,type=hdfs} (3 rows)

9. Switch to database mydatabase and switch to user dbuser.

   1	SET ROLE dbuser PASSWORD 'password';

10. Create a foreign server.

    The server name, address, and configuration path must be the same as those in 8.

    1 2 3 4 5 6 7

    CREATE SERVER hdfs_server_8f79ada0_d998_4026_9020_80d6de2692ca FOREIGN DATA WRAPPER HDFS_FDW OPTIONS ( address '192.168.1.245:9820,192.168.1.218:9820', //The intranet IP addresses of the active and standby master nodes on the MRS management plane, which can be used to communicate with GaussDB(DWS). hdfscfgpath '/MRS/8f79ada0-d998-4026-9020-80d6de2692ca', type 'hdfs' );

11. View the foreign server.

    1	SELECT * FROM pg_foreign_server WHERE srvname='hdfs_server_8f79ada0_d998_4026_9020_80d6de2692ca';

    The server is successfully created if information similar to the following is displayed:

    1 2 3 4

    srvname | srvowner | srvfdw | srvtype | srvversion | srvacl | srvoptions --------------------------------------------------+----------+--------+---------+------------+--------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- hdfs_server_8f79ada0_d998_4026_9020_80d6de2692ca | 16476 | 13685 | | | | {"address=192.168.1.245:9820,192.168.1.218:9820",hdfscfgpath=/MRS/8f79ada0-d998-4026-9020-80d6de2692ca,type=hdfs} (1 row)

Creating a Foreign Table

Create an OBS foreign table that does not contain partition columns. The foreign server associated with the table is hdfs_server, the format of the file on HDFS corresponding to the table is ORC, and the data storage path on OBS is /user/hive/warehouse/product_info_orc/.

INSERT INTO product_info_output_ext SELECT * FROM product_info_output;

If the following information is displayed, the data is successfully exported:

1

INSERT 0 10

Viewing the Export Result

1. Go to the MRS cluster list. Click a cluster name to go to the cluster details page.
2. Click the Files tab and click HDFS File List. Check the exported ORC file in the user/hive/warehouse/product_info_orc directory.

   

   

   ORC data exported from GaussDB(DWS) complies with the following rules:

   • Data exported to MRS (HDFS): When data is exported from a DN, the data is stored in HDFS in the segment format. The file is named in the format of mpp_DatabaseName_SchemaName_TableName_NodeName_n.orc.
   • You are advised to export data from different clusters or databases to different paths. The maximum size of an ORC file is 128 MB, and the maximum size of a stripe is 64 MB.
   • After the export is complete, the _SUCCESS file is generated.
