Hi Matt, It fully answers to my question.
Thanks and regards, Nicolas -----Message d'origine----- De : Matt Burgess [mailto:[email protected]] Envoyé : jeudi 10 novembre 2016 15:32 À : [email protected] Objet : Re: Nifi vs Sqoop Nicolas, The Max Value Columns property of QueryDatabaseTable is the specification by which the processor fetches only the new lines. In your case you would put "lastmodificationdate" as the Max Value Column. The first time the processor is triggered, it will execute a "SELECT * from myTable" and get all the rows (as it does not yet know about "new" vs "old" rows). Then for the Max Value Column, it will keep track of the maximum value currently observed for that column. The next time the processor is triggered, it will execute a "SELECT * FROM myTable WHERE lastModificationDate > the_max_value_seen_so_far". Thus only rows whose value for the Max Value Column is greater than the current maximum will be returned. Then the maximum is again updated, and so on. Does this answer your question(about QueryDatabaseTable)? If not please let me know. If your source table is large and/or you'd like to parallelize the fetching of rows from the table, consider the GenerateTableFetch processor [1] instead. Rather than _executing_ SQL like QueryDatabaseTable does, GenerateTableFetch _generates_ SQL, and will generate a number of flow files, each containing a SQL statement that grabs X rows from the table. If you supply a Max Value Column here, it too will perform incremental fetch after the initial one. These flow files can be distributed throughout your cluster (using a RemoteProcessGroup pointing to the same cluster, and an Input Port to receive the flow files), creating a parallel distributed fetch capability like Sqoop. From a scaling perspective, Sqoop uses MapReduce so it can scale with the size of your Hadoop cluster. GenerateTableFetch can scale to the size of your NiFi cluster. You might choose NiFi or Sqoop based on the volume and velocity of your data.
