Migrating Data from Elasticsearch to DLI

This section describes how to use the CDM data synchronization function to migrate data from a CSS Elasticsearch cluster to DLI. Data in a self-built Elasticsearch cluster can also be bidirectionally synchronized between CDM and DLI.

Prerequisites

  • You have created a DLI SQL queue. For details about how to create a DLI queue, see Creating a Queue.

    When you create a queue, set its Type to For SQL.

  • You have created a CSS Elasticsearch cluster. For how to create a CSS cluster, see Creating a CSS Cluster.

    In this example, the version of the created CSS cluster is 7.6.2, and security mode is disabled for the cluster.

  • You have created a CDM cluster. For details about how to create a CDM cluster, see Creating a CDM Cluster.
    • If the destination data source is an on-premises database, you need the Internet or Direct Connect. When using the Internet, ensure that an EIP has been bound to the CDM cluster, the security group of CDM allows outbound traffic from the host where the off-cloud data source is located, the host where the data source is located can access the Internet, and the connection port has been enabled in the firewall rules.
    • If the data source is CSS on a cloud, the network must meet the following requirements:

      i. If the CDM cluster and the cloud service are in different regions, a public network or a dedicated connection is required for enabling communication between the CDM cluster and the cloud service. If the Internet is used for communication, ensure that an EIP has been bound to the CDM cluster, the host where the data source is located can access the Internet, and the port has been enabled in the firewall rules.

      ii. If the CDM cluster and the cloud service are in the same region, VPC, subnet, and security group, they can communicate with each other by default. If the CDM cluster and the cloud service are in the same VPC but in different subnets or security groups, you must configure routing rules and security group rules.

      For details about how to configure routes, see Configure routes. For details about how to configure security groups, see section Security Group Configuration Examples.

      iii. The cloud service instance and the CDM cluster belong to the same enterprise project. If they do not, you can modify the enterprise project of the workspace.

    In this example, the VPC, subnet, and security group of the CDM cluster are the same as those of the CSS cluster.

Step 1: Prepare Data

  • Create an index for the CSS cluster and import data.
    1. Log in to the CSS management console and choose Clusters > Elasticsearch from the navigation pane on the left.
    2. On the Clusters page, click Access Kibana in the Operation column of the created CSS cluster.
    3. In the navigation pane of Kibana, choose Dev Tools. The Console page is displayed.
    4. On the displayed Console page, run the following command to create index my_test:
      PUT /my_test
      {
        "settings": {
          "number_of_shards": 1
        },
        "mappings": {
                "properties": {
              "productName": {
                "type": "text",
                "analyzer": "ik_smart"
              },
              "size": {
                "type": "keyword"
              }
            }
          }
        }
    5. Run the following command to import data to the my_test index:
      POST /my_test/_doc/_bulk
      {"index":{}}
      {"productName":"2017 Autumn New Shirts for Women", "size":"L"}
      {"index":{}}
      {"productName":"2017 Autumn New Shirts for Women", "size":"M"}
      {"index":{}}
      {"productName":"2017 Autumn New Shirts for Women", "size":"S"}
      {"index":{}}
      {"productName":"2018 Spring New Jeans for Women","size":"M"}
      {"index":{}}
      {"productName":"2018 Spring New Jeans for Women","size":"S"}
      {"index":{}}
      {"productName":"2017 Spring Casual Pants for Women","size":"L"}
      {"index":{}}
      {"productName":"2017 Spring Casual Pants for Women","size":"S"}

      If errors is false in the command output, the data is imported.

  • Create a database and table on DLI.
    1. Log in to the DLI management console and click SQL Editor. On the displayed page, set Engine to spark and Queue to the created SQL queue.

      Enter the following statement in the editing window to create a database, for example, the migrated DLI database testdb: For details about the syntax for creating a DLI database, see Creating a Database.

      create database testdb;
    2. Create a table in the database. For details about the table creation syntax, see Creating a DLI Table Using the DataSource Syntax.
      create table tablecss(size string, productname string);

Step 2: Migrate Data

  1. Create a CDM connection to MRS Hive.
    1. Create a connection to link CDM to the data source CSS.
      1. Log in to the CDM console, choose Cluster Management. On the displayed page, locate the created CDM cluster, and click Job Management in the Operation column.
      2. On the Job Management page, click the Links tab, and click Create Link. On the displayed page, select Cloud Search Service and click Next.

        Database

        Select a created DLI database. In this example, database testdb created in Create a database and table on DLI is selected.

        Table

        Select the name of a table in the database. In this example, table tablecss created in Create a database and table on DLI is created.

        Clear data before import

        Whether to clear data in the destination table before data import. In this example, set this parameter to No.

        If this parameter is set to Yes, data in the destination table will be cleared before the task is started.

        For details about parameter settings, see To DLI.

  3. Click Next. The Map Field page is displayed. CDM automatically matches the source and destination fields.
    • If the field mapping is incorrect, you can drag the fields to adjust the mapping.
    • If the type is automatically created at the migration destination, you need to configure the type and name of each field.
    • CDM allows for field conversion during migration. For details, see Field Conversion.
      Figure 6 Field mapping
  4. Click Next and set task parameters. Generally, retain the default values of all parameters.

    In this step, you can configure the following optional functions:

    • Retry Upon Failure: If the job fails to be executed, you can determine whether to automatically retry. Retain the default value Never.
    • Group: Select the group to which the job belongs. The default group is DEFAULT. On the Job Management page, jobs can be displayed, started, or exported by group.
    • Scheduled Execution: For details about how to configure scheduled execution, see Scheduling Job Execution. Retain the default value No.
    • Concurrent Extractors: Enter the number of extractors to be concurrently executed. Retain the default value 1.
    • Write Dirty Data: Specify this parameter if data that fails to be processed or filtered out during job execution needs to be written to OBS. Before writing dirty data, create an OBS link. You can view the data on OBS later. Retain the default value No so that dirty data is not recorded.
  5. Click Save and Run. On the Job Management page, you can view the job execution progress and result.
