Using CDM to Migrate Data to CloudTable

For example, create a CloudTable cluster named CloudTable-demo.

The CDM cluster you create must have the same region, AZ, VPC, subnet, and security group as the CloudTable cluster.

For details about how to create a CDM cluster, see Creating a Cluster in the Cloud Data Migration User Guide.

For example, create a CDM cluster named CDM-demo.

CDM enables you to migrate data from multiple data sources to CloudTable. Create a link as the source link based on the actual data source. The link is used for CDM to connect to the data source and read data from the data source.

For details about how to create a link, see Creating a Link in the Cloud Data Migration User Guide.

In the CDM cluster, create a link for which Data Source Type is set to CloudTable as a destination link. The link is used for CDM to connect to the CloudTable cluster, read data from the data source, and import data to the HBase table of the CloudTable cluster.

For details about how to create a link, see Creating a Link in the Cloud Data Migration User Guide.

The following is an example of destination link settings.

1. On the Cluster Management page, locate the newly created CDM cluster and click Job Management in the row of the CDM cluster. The job management page is displayed.
2. Click the Link Management tab and then click Create Link. On the Select connector type page that is displayed, select CloudTable Service and click Next.

3. Configure link parameters.
   • Name: Enter a link name. You can create a link name based on the data source type for easy memorization. For example, enter cloudtable_connect.
   • ZK Link: Set this parameter to the access address (Intranet) of the CloudTable cluster. Log in to the CloudTable console and choose Cluster Management. In the cluster list, locate the required cluster and obtain the address in the Access Address (Intranet) column.
   • : Set this parameter to No.
   • IAM Authentication: CloudTable does not use IAM authentication. Therefore, set this parameter to No.
   • Run Mode: Retain the default value.

4. Click Save.

For details about how to create a table/file migration job, see Table/File Migration in the Cloud Data Migration User Guide.

When you create a table/file migration job, if the table or file of the source end does not have the corresponding HBase table in the destination CloudTable cluster, set a table name and field mapping in the job for the destination end (the field name can be copied from the source end). Therefore, when a job is running, the corresponding HBase table is automatically created at the destination end.

The following uses the SFTP data source on an ECS as an example to describe how to create a job.

1. On the Cluster Management page, locate the newly created CDM cluster and click Job Management in the row of the CDM cluster. The job management page is displayed.
2. Choose Table/File Migration > Create Job.
3. Set parameters as follows:
   Figure 3 Configuring basic information
   
4. Set the field mapping as follows:
   Figure 4 Field mapping
   
5. Configure the task as follows:
   Figure 5 Configuring a task
   
6. Click Save and Run.

Assume that the ECS name is ecs_20170916. For details, see Preparing an ECS.

For details about how to use the HBase shell to access the cluster, see Using HBase Shell to Access a Cluster.

The following is an example of the command. Replace table_name with the name of the table specified when a job is created in the CDM cluster.
