Pulsar

Integration Details

The Datahub Pulsar source plugin extracts topic and schema metadata from an Apache Pulsar instance and ingest the information into Datahub. The plugin uses the Pulsar admin Rest API interface to interact with the Pulsar instance. The following APIs are used in order to:

The data is extracted on tenant and namespace basis, topics with corresponding schema (if available) are ingested as Dataset into Datahub. Some additional values like schema description, schema_version, schema_type and partitioned are included as DatasetProperties.

Concept Mapping

This ingestion source maps the following Source System Concepts to DataHub Concepts:

Metadata Ingestion Quickstart

For context on getting started with ingestion, check out our metadata ingestion guide. Incubating

Important Capabilities

CapabilityStatusNotes
Detect Deleted EntitiesOptionally enabled via stateful_ingestion.remove_stale_metadata
DomainsSupported via the domain config field
Platform InstanceEnabled by default
Schema MetadataEnabled by default

PulsarSource(config: datahub.ingestion.source_config.pulsar.PulsarSourceConfig, ctx: datahub.ingestion.api.common.PipelineContext)

NOTE: Always use TLS encryption in a production environment and use variable substitution for sensitive information (e.g. ${CLIENT_ID} and ${CLIENT_SECRET}).

Prerequisites

In order to ingest metadata from Apache Pulsar, you will need:

  • Access to a Pulsar Instance, if authentication is enabled a valid access token.
  • Pulsar version >= 2.7.0

NOTE: A superUser role is required for listing all existing tenants within a Pulsar instance.

CLI based Ingestion

Install the Plugin

pip install 'acryl-datahub[pulsar]'

Starter Recipe

Check out the following recipe to get started with ingestion! See below for full configuration options.

For general pointers on writing and running a recipe, see our main recipe guide.

source:
type: "pulsar"
config:
env: "TEST"
platform_instance: "local"
## Pulsar client connection config ##
web_service_url: "https://localhost:8443"
verify_ssl: "/opt/certs/ca.cert.pem"
# Issuer url for auth document, for example "http://localhost:8083/realms/pulsar"
issuer_url: <issuer_url>
client_id: ${CLIENT_ID}
client_secret: ${CLIENT_SECRET}
# Tenant list to scrape
tenants:
- tenant_1
- tenant_2
# Topic filter pattern
topic_patterns:
allow:
- ".*sales.*"

sink:
# sink configs

Config Details

Note that a . is used to denote nested fields in the YAML recipe.

FieldDescription

string
The application's client ID
