data from mutiple mysql tables to hadoop map-reduce

Question

We have following scenario:

We have a chain of map-reduce processes implemented in java.Currently we are reading data from a mysql table and saving output to another mysql table .Now we may need data from another table as input to map/reduce process.

Possible Solutions:

a) Either we can have a join query for input to map process or

b) we can read needed data by making simple jdbc connection and requesting data again and again(although, i don't prefer it).

Questions:

What are the best practices in such scenario? We may move to mongoDB in future.What will be best practice in that scenario?

Answer 2

SQOOP and HIVE can be used.

You can use SQOOP for transfering data from mysql table to HDFS and then to HIVE . From HIVE (after operations) , you can export the tables back to Mysql.

Example :

• First of all download mysql-connector-java-5.0.8 and put the jar to lib and bin folder of Sqoop
• Create the table definition in Hive with exact field names and types as in mysql

sqoop import --verbose --fields-terminated-by ',' --connect jdbc:mysql://localhost/test --table employee --hive-import --warehouse-dir /user/hive/warehouse --fields-terminated-by ',' --split-by id --hive-table employee
