MySQL output plugin for Embulk

MySQL output plugin for Embulk loads records to MySQL.

Overview

  • Plugin type: output
  • Load all or nothing: depends on the mode. see below.
  • Resume supported: depends on the mode. see below.

Configuration

  • driver_path: path to the jar file of the MySQL JDBC driver. If not set, the bundled JDBC driver (MySQL Connector/J 5.1.34) will be used. (string)
  • host: database host name (string, required)
  • port: database port number (integer, default: 3306)
  • user: database login user name (string, required)
  • password: database login password (string, default: "")
  • ssl: use SSL to connect to the database (string, default: disable. enable uses SSL without server-side validation and verify checks the certificate. For compatibility reasons, true behaves as enable and false behaves as disable.)
  • database: destination database name (string, required)
  • temp_database: database name for intermediate tables. by default, intermediate tables will be created in the database specified by database. (string, optional)
  • table: destination table name (string, required)
  • create_table_constraint: table constraint added to CREATE TABLE statement, like CREATE TABLE <table_name> (<column1> <type1>, <column2> <type2>, ..., <create_table_constraint>) <create_table_option>.
  • create_table_option: table option added to CREATE TABLE statement, like CREATE TABLE <table_name> (<column1> <type1>, <column2> <type2>, ..., <create_table_constraint>) <create_table_option>.
  • transaction_isolation: transaction isolation level for each connection ("read_uncommitted", "read_committed", "repeatable_read" or "serializable"). if not specified, database default value will be used.
  • options: extra connection properties (hash, default: {})
  • retry_limit: max retry count for database operations (integer, default: 12). When intermediate table to create already created by another process, this plugin will retry with another table name to avoid collision. And, when a deadlock occurs in loading records, this plugin will retry loading after the transaction rolled back.
  • retry_wait: initial retry wait time in milliseconds (integer, default: 1000 (1 second))
  • max_retry_wait: upper limit of retry wait, which will be doubled at every retry (integer, default: 1800000 (30 minutes))
  • mode: "insert", "insert_direct", "truncate_insert", "merge", "merge_direct", or "replace". See below. (string, required)
  • merge_rule: list of column assignments for updating existing records used in merge and merge_direct modes, for example foo = target_table.foo + VALUES(foo) in case of merge mode, or foo = foo + VALUES(foo) in case of merge_direct mode. (string array, default: always overwrites with new values)
  • batch_size: size of a single batch insert (integer, default: 16777216)
  • default_timezone: If input column type (embulk type) is timestamp, this plugin needs to format the timestamp into a SQL string. This default_timezone option is used to control the timezone. You can overwrite timezone for each columns using column_options option. (string, default: UTC)
  • column_options: advanced: a key-value pairs where key is a column name and value is options for the column.
    • type: type of a column when this plugin creates new tables (e.g. VARCHAR(255), INTEGER NOT NULL UNIQUE). This used when this plugin creates intermediate tables (insert, insert_truncate and merge modes), when it creates the target table (insert_direct, merge_direct and replace modes), and when it creates nonexistent target table automatically. (string, default: depends on input column type. BIGINT if input column type is long, BOOLEAN if boolean, DOUBLE PRECISION if double, CLOB if string, TIMESTAMP if timestamp)
    • value_type: This plugin converts input column type (embulk type) into a database type to build a INSERT statement. This value_type option controls the type of the value in a INSERT statement. (string, default: depends on the sql type of the column. Available values options are: byte, short, int, long, double, float, boolean, string, nstring, date, time, timestamp, decimal, json, null, pass)
    • timestamp_format: If input column type (embulk type) is timestamp and value_type is string or nstring, this plugin needs to format the timestamp value into a string. This timestamp_format option is used to control the format of the timestamp. (string, default: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%6N)
    • timezone: If input column type (embulk type) is timestamp, this plugin needs to format the timestamp value into a SQL string. In this cases, this timezone option is used to control the timezone. (string, value of default_timezone option is used by default)
  • before_load: if set, this SQL will be executed before loading all records. In truncate_insert mode, the SQL will be executed after truncating. replace mode doesn't support this option.
  • after_load: if set, this SQL will be executed after loading all records.

Modes

  • insert:
    • Behavior: This mode writes rows to some intermediate tables first. If all those tasks run correctly, runs INSERT INTO <target_table> SELECT * FROM <intermediate_table_1> UNION ALL SELECT * FROM <intermediate_table_2> UNION ALL ... query. If the target table doesn't exist, it is created automatically.
    • Transactional: Yes. This mode successfully writes all rows, or fails with writing zero rows.
    • Resumable: Yes.
  • insert_direct:
    • Behavior: This mode inserts rows to the target table directly. If the target table doesn't exist, it is created automatically.
    • Transactional: No. If fails, the target table could have some rows inserted.
    • Resumable: No.
  • truncate_insert:
    • Behavior: Same with insert mode excepting that it truncates the target table right before the last INSERT ... query.
    • Transactional: Yes.
    • Resumable: Yes.
  • replace:
    • Behavior: This mode writes rows to an intermediate table first. If all those tasks run correctly, drops the target table and alters the name of the intermediate table into the target table name.
    • Transactional: No. If fails, the target table could be dropped (because MySQL can't rollback DDL).
    • Resumable: No.
  • merge:
    • Behavior: This mode writes rows to some intermediate tables first. If all those tasks run correctly, runs INSERT INTO <target_table> SELECT * FROM <intermediate_table_1> UNION ALL SELECT * FROM <intermediate_table_2> UNION ALL ... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE ... query. Namely, if primary keys of a record in the intermediate tables already exist in the target table, the target record is updated by the intermediate record, otherwise the intermediate record is inserted. If the target table doesn't exist, it is created automatically.
    • Transactional: Yes.
    • Resumable: Yes.
  • merge_direct:
    • Behavior: This mode inserts rows to the target table directly using INSERT INTO ... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE ... query. If the target table doesn't exist, it is created automatically.
    • Transactional: No.
    • Resumable: No.

Build

$ ./gradlew gem

Running tests:

You need to create 'mysql.yml' as follows.

type: mysql
host: localhost
port: 3306
database: database
user: user
password: pass
$ EMBULK_OUTPUT_MYSQL_TEST_CONFIG=mysql.yml ./gradlew :embulk-output-mysql:check --info
