Elasticsearch and Hadoop are powerhouse technologies that have revolutionized data storage, processing, and analytics. When combined, especially in the versatile environment of Alibaba Cloud, they unlock incredible potentials for handling big data tasks. In this guide, we'll dive deep into leveraging ES-Hadoop to enable Hive to write data to and read from Alibaba Cloud Elasticsearch, transforming your data analytics operations.
Elasticsearch-Hadoop (ES-Hadoop) is an open-source tool developed to bridge the gap between Elasticsearch and the Hadoop ecosystem. This integration not only accelerates query responses but also provides a scalable architecture for real-time analytics.
Before you embark on this integration, ensure you have an Alibaba Cloud account and familiarize yourself with their Elasticsearch services (learn more here). Let’s explore how to set up this powerhouse duo to supercharge your data analytics workflow.
Disable Auto Indexing in your Elasticsearch cluster to ensure optimal mapping configurations. Create an index with specified mappings. Consider the following example:
PUT company
{
"mappings": {
"_doc": {
"properties": {
"id": {"type": "long"},
"name": {
"type": "text",
"fields": {
"keyword": {
"type": "keyword",
"ignore_above": 256
}
}
},
"birth": {"type": "text"},
"addr": {"type": "text"}
}
}
},
"settings": {
"index": {
"number_of_shards": 5,
"number_of_replicas": 1
}
}
}
Create an EMR cluster in the same VPC as your Elasticsearch setup to ensure seamless connectivity and data transfer.
Obtain the compatible ES-Hadoop package and upload it to HDFS:
hadoop fs -mkdir /tmp/hadoop-es
hadoop fs -put elasticsearch-hadoop-hive-x.x.x.jar /tmp/hadoop-es
Replace x.x.x with the correct version number corresponding to your Elasticsearch version.
Set up a Hive external table and map its fields to the Elasticsearch index fields:
add jar hdfs:///tmp/hadoop-es/elasticsearch-hadoop-hive-x.x.x.jar;
CREATE EXTERNAL table IF NOT EXISTS company(
id BIGINT,
name STRING,
birth STRING,
addr STRING
)
STORED BY 'org.elasticsearch.hadoop.hive.EsStorageHandler'
TBLPROPERTIES(
'es.nodes' = 'http://es-cn-xxxxxx.elasticsearch.aliyuncs.com',
'es.port' = '9200',
'es.net.ssl' = 'true',
'es.nodes.wan.only' = 'true',
...
);
Write data to the index using HiveSQL:
INSERT INTO TABLE company VALUES (1, "zhangsan", "1990-01-01","No.969, WenyiXi Rd, Yuhang, Hangzhou");
Read data from the index:
1SELECT * FROM company;
The integration of Hive with Alibaba Cloud Elasticsearch via ES-Hadoop creates a robust environment for processing and analyzing big data. This setup not only enhances data insights but also optimizes storage and query efficiency.
Integrating Hive with Alibaba Cloud Elasticsearch offers a streamlined pathway for real-time data analytics. Alibaba Cloud provides a comprehensive and scalable platform for your Elasticsearch needs. The synergy between Elasticsearch, Hadoop, and Hive presents a formidable framework for handling large datasets, enabling advanced analytics that drive informed business decisions.
