We want to implement SCD2 in Spark using SQL Join. i got reference from Github
https://gist.github.com/rampage644/cc4659edd11d9a288c1b
but it's not very clear.
Can anybody provide any example or reference to implement SCD2 in spark
Regards,
Manish
A little outdated in terms of newer Spark SQL, but here is an example
I trialed a la Ralph Kimball using Spark SQL, that worked and is thus
reliable. You can run it and it works - but file logic and such needs
to be added - this is the body of the ETL SCD2 logic based on 1.6
syntax but run in 2.x - it is not that hard but you will need to trace
through and generate test data and trace through each step:
Some pre-processing required before script initiates, save a copy of existing and copy existing to the DIM_CUSTOMER_EXISTING.
Write new output to DIM_CUSTOMER_NEW and then copy this to target, DIM_CUSTOMER_1 or DIM_CUSTOMER_2.
The feed can also be re-created or LOAD OVERWRITE.
^^^ NEED SOME BETTER SCRIPTING AROUND THIS. ^^^ The Type 2 dimension is simply only Type 2 values, not a mixed Type 1 & Type 2.
DUMPs that are accumulative can be in fact pre-processed to get the delta.
Use case assumes we can have N input for a person with a date validity / extract supplied.
SPARK 1.6 SQL based originally, not updated yet to SPARK 2.x SQL with nested correlated subquery support.
CUST_CODE cannot changes unless a stable Primary Key.
This approach handles no input, delta input, same input, all input, and can catch up and need not be run-date based.
^^^ Works best with deltas, as if pass all data and there is no change then still have make a dummy entry with all the same values else it will have gaps in key range
which means will not be able to link facts to dimensions in all cases. I.e. the discard logic works only in terms of a pure delta feed. All data can be passed but only
the current delta. Problem becomes difficult to solve in that we must then look for changes over different rows and expand date range, a little too complicated imho.
The dummy entries in the dimensions are not a huge issue. The problem is a little more difficult in such a less mutable environment, in KUDU it easier to solve.
Ideally there would be some sort of preprocessor that checks which fields have changed and only then passed on, but that may be a bridge too far.
HENCE IT IS A COMPROMISE ALGORITHM necessarily. ^^^
No Deletions processed.
Multi-step processing for SQL required in some cases. Gaps in key ranges difficult to avoid with set processing.
No out of order processing, that would mean re-processing all. Works on a whole date/day basis, if run more than once per day in batch then would need timestamp instead.
0.1 Any difference analysis on existimg dumps only possible if the dumps are accumulative. If they are transactional deltas only, then this is not required.
Care to be taken here.
0.2 If we want only the last update for a given date, then do that here by method of Partitioning and Ranking and filtering out.
These are all pre-processing steps as are the getting of the dimension data from which table.
0.3 Issue is that of small files, but that is not an issue here at xxx. RAW usage only as written to KUDU in a final step.

Here's the detailed implementation of slowly changing dimension type 2 in Spark (Data frame and SQL) using exclusive join approach.
Assuming that the source is sending a complete data file i.e. old, updated and new records.
Steps:
Load the recent file data to STG table
Select all the expired records from HIST table
1. select * from HIST_TAB where exp_dt != '2099-12-31'
Select all the records which are not changed from STG and HIST using inner join and filter on HIST.column = STG.column as below
2. select hist.* from HIST_TAB hist inner join STG_TAB stg on hist.key = stg.key where hist.column = stg.column
Select all the new and updated records which are changed from STG_TAB using exclusive left join with HIST_TAB and set expiry and effective date as below
3. select stg.*, eff_dt (yyyy-MM-dd), exp_dt (2099-12-31) from STG_TAB stg left join (select * from HIST_TAB where exp_dt = '2099-12-31') hist
on hist.key = stg.key where hist.key is null or hist.column != stg.column
Select all updated old records from the HIST table using exclusive left join with STG table and set their expiry date as shown below:
4. select hist.*, exp_dt(yyyy-MM-dd) from (select * from HIST_TAB where exp_dt = '2099-12-31') hist left join STG_TAB stg
on hist.key= stg.key where hist.key is null or hist.column!= stg.column
unionall queries from 1-4 and insert overwrite result to HIST table

I am trying to get a cql string given a Dataframe. I came across this function
Where I can do something like this
TableDef.fromDataFrame(df, "test", "hello", ProtocolVersion.NEWEST_SUPPORTED).cql()
It looks to me that the library uses first column as Partition Key and does not care about Clustering Key so how do I specify to use particular set of columns of a Dataframe as a PartitionKey and ParticularSet of columns as a Clustering Key ?
Looks like I can create a new TableDef however I have to do the entire mapping by myself and in some cases the necessary functions like ColumnType are not accessible in Java. for Example I tried to create a new ColumnDef like below
new ColumnDef("col5", new PartitionKeyColumn(), ColumnType is not accessible in Java)
Objective: To get a CQL create Statement from a Spark DataFrame.
Input My dataframe can have any number of columns with their respective Spark Types. so say I have a Spark Dataframe with 100 columns where my col8, col9 of my dataframe corresponds to cassandra partitionKey columns and my column10 corresponds to cassandra clustering Key column
col1| col2| ...|col100
Now I want to use spark-cassandra-connector library to give me a CQL create table statement given the info above.
Desired Output
create table if not exists test.hello (
col1 bigint, (whatever column1 type is from my dataframe I just picked bigint randomly)
col2 varchar,
col3 double,
...
...
col100 bigint,
primary key(col8,col9)
) WITH CLUSTERING ORDER BY (col10 DESC);
Because required components (PartitionKeyColumn & instances of ColumnType) are objects in Scala, you need to use following syntax to access their intances:
// imports
import com.datastax.spark.connector.cql.ColumnDef;
import com.datastax.spark.connector.cql.PartitionKeyColumn$;
import com.datastax.spark.connector.types.TextType$;
// actual code
ColumnDef a = new ColumnDef("col5",
PartitionKeyColumn$.MODULE$, TextType$.MODULE$);
See code for ColumnRole & PrimitiveTypes to find full list of names of objects/classes.
Update after additional requirements: Code is lengthy, but should work...
SparkSession spark = SparkSession.builder()
.appName("Java Spark SQL example").getOrCreate();
Set<String> partitionKeys = new TreeSet<String>() {{
add("col1");
add("col2");

I have the following code:
def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = {
val cluster = Cluster.builder()
.addContactPoint("localhost")
.withPort(9042)
.build()
val session = cluster.connect()
try {
session.execute(s"CREATE KEYSPACE demoks WITH REPLICATION = {'class':'SimpleStrategy', 'replication_factor':1}")
} catch {
case _: AlreadyExistsException =>
}
session.execute(s"USE demoks")
session.execute("DROP table IF EXISTS demo")
session.execute( """
| CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS demo (
| id text,
| data1 map<text, text>,
| data2 map<text, text>,
| PRIMARY KEY (id)
| ) WITH
| compaction = {'class': 'LeveledCompactionStrategy'}
| AND
| compression = { 'sstable_compression' : 'SnappyCompressor' };
""".stripMargin).one()
val p1 = session.prepare("UPDATE demo SET data1[?]=?, data2[?] = ? WHERE id=?")
val p3 = session.prepare("INSERT INTO demo (id,data1) VALUES (?,?) IF NOT EXISTS")
import scala.collection.JavaConverters._
val id2 = "id2-"+System.nanoTime()
session.execute(p3.bind(id2, Map("key" -> "value1-q1").asJava))
session.execute(p1.bind("key", "value1-q2", "key", "value2-q2", id2))
System.exit(0)
}
After execution of this snippet I'm just doing select * from demo; in cqlsh:
Usually the result is correct and expected:
cqlsh:demoks> select * from demo;
id | data1 | data2
--------------------+----------------------+----------------------
id2-61510117409472 | {'key': 'value1-q2'} | {'key': 'value2-q2'}
(1 rows)
But sometimes it may be different. Looks like that queries has been reordered and IF NOT EXISTS not triggered:
cqlsh:demoks> select * from demo;
id | data1 | data2
--------------------+----------------------+----------------------
id2-61522373234949 | {'key': 'value1-q1'} | {'key': 'value2-q2'}
(1 rows)
Could anybody explain me this behavior?
It's Cassandra 3.7 running in docker on Windows machine. I cannot reproduce this behavior under Linux nor Mac on the same machine and all another machines. I tried both docker and bare installations. Moreover, I cannot reproduce this even with bare installation on the same machine.
Basically there is no guarantees how the insert, upsert statements you provide will end up in cluster. Most of the time you will get the behaviour you expect, but not always. This depends on some factors, what is the coordinator you are hitting, what is the time there.
You have two options, setting the time yourself on the statements you produce by using "using timestamp" or you can use batches so that you guarantee the order of execution of your statements:
// your code
Batch batch = QueryBuilder.unloggedBatch()
batch.add(binded p3)
batch.add(binded p1)
// now execute the batch
session.execute(batch)
