Streamsets Data Collector 1.6.0.0 has been released!

The release 1.6.0.0 of the Streamsets Data Collector has been released on September 1st. This release comes with an incredible number of new features. Here are some of the most interesting:

  • JDBC Lookup processor: it can perform lookups in a database table through a JDBC connection and then you can use the values to enrich records.
  • JDBC Tee processor: it can write data to a database table through a JDBC connection, and then you can pass generated database column values to fields. 
  • Support for reading data from paginated webpages through the HTTP origin.
  • Support for Apache Kafka 0.10 and ElasticSearch 2.3.5.
  • Enterprise security in the MongoDB origin and destination including SSL and login credentials.
  • Whole File Data format: to move entire files from an origin system (Amazon S3 or Directory) to a destination system (Amazon S3, HDFS, Local File System or MapR FS). Using the whole file data format, you can transfer any type of file. 
And many more.
Furthermore, it is now possible to download a smaller installer package (TGZ or RPM) and then install manually only the individual packages you really need. Here is the sequence of commands for the core TGZ archive to download it and installing the required stages:

# extract the tar file
$ tar xvzf streamsets-datacollector-core-1.6.0.0.tgz

$ cd streamsets-datacollector-core-1.6.0.0
# list all downloadable stage libraries
$ ./bin/streamsets stagelibs -list

# install stage libraries as required
$ ./bin/streamsets stagelibs -install=<stageid1>,<stageid2> 

Enjoy it!

Turning Python Scripts into Working Web Apps Quickly with Streamlit

 I just realized that I am using Streamlit since almost one year now, posted about in Twitter or LinkedIn several times, but never wrote a blog post about it before. Communication in Data Science and Machine Learning is the key. Being able to showcase work in progress and share results with the business makes the difference. Verbal and non-verbal communication skills are important. Having some tool that could support you in this kind of conversation with a mixed audience that couldn't have a technical background or would like to hear in terms of results and business value would be of great help. I found that Streamlit fits well this scenario. Streamlit is an Open Source (Apache License 2.0) Python framework that turns data or ML scripts into shareable web apps in minutes (no kidding). Python only: no front‑end experience required. To start with Streamlit, just install it through pip (it is available in Anaconda too): pip install streamlit and you are ready to execute the working de...

jOOQ: code generation in Eclipse

jOOQ allows code generation from a database schema through ANT tasks, Maven and shell command tools. But if you're working with Eclipse it's easier to create a new Run Configuration to perform this operation. First of all you have to write the usual XML configuration file for the code generation starting from the database: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> <configuration xmlns="http://www.jooq.org/xsd/jooq-codegen-2.0.4.xsd">   <jdbc>     <driver>oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver</driver>     <url>jdbc:oracle:thin:@dbhost:1700:DBSID</url>     <user>DB_FTRS</user>     <password>password</password>   </jdbc>   <generator>     <name>org.jooq.util.DefaultGenerator</name>     <database>       <name>org.jooq.util.oracle.OracleDatabase</name>     ...

Load testing MongoDB using JMeter

Apache JMeter ( http://jmeter.apache.org/ ) added support for MongoDB since its 2.10 release. In this post I am referring to the latest JMeter release (2.13). A preliminary JMeter setup is needed before starting your first test plan for MongoDB. It uses Groovy as scripting reference language, so Groovy needs to be set up for our favorite load testing tool. Follow these steps to complete the set up: Download Groovy from the official website ( http://www.groovy-lang.org/download.html ). In this post I am referring to the Groovy release 2.4.4, but using later versions is fine. Copy the groovy-all-2.4.4.jar to the $JMETER_HOME/lib folder. Restart JMeter if it was running while adding the Groovy JAR file. Now you can start creating a test plan for MongoDB load testing. From the UI select the MongoDB template ( File -> Templates... ). The new test plan has a MongoDB Source Config element. Here you have to setup the connection details for the database to be tested: The Threa...
