Playground introduction

The playground is a complete Apache Gravitino Docker runtime environment with Hive, HDFS, Trino, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Jupter, and a Gravitino server.

Depending on your network and computer, startup time may take 3-5 minutes. Once the playground environment has started, you can open http://localhost:8090 in a browser to access the Gravitino Web UI.

Prerequisites

Install Git and Docker Compose.

TCP ports used

The playground runs a number of services. The TCP ports used may clash with existing services you run, such as MySQL or Postgres.

Start playground

Experiencing Apache Gravitino with Trino SQL

Using Trino CLI in Docker Container

1. Log in to the Gravitino playground Trino Docker container using the following command:

docker exec -it playground-trino bash

2. Open the Trino CLI in the container.

trino@container_id:/$ trino

Using Jupiter Notebook

1. Open the Jupyter Notebook in the browser at http://localhost:8888.

2. Open the gravitino-trino-example.ipynb notebook.

3. Start the notebook and run the cells.

Example

Simple queries

You can use simple queries to test in the Trino CLI.

SHOW CATALOGS;

CREATE SCHEMA catalog_hive.company
  WITH (location = 'hdfs://hive:9000/user/hive/warehouse/company.db');

SHOW CREATE SCHEMA catalog_hive.company;

CREATE TABLE catalog_hive.company.employees
(
  name varchar,
  salary decimal(10,2)
)
WITH (
  format = 'TEXTFILE'
);

INSERT INTO catalog_hive.company.employees (name, salary) VALUES ('Sam Evans', 55000);

SELECT * FROM catalog_hive.company.employees;

SHOW SCHEMAS from catalog_hive;

DESCRIBE catalog_hive.company.employees;

SHOW TABLES from catalog_hive.company;

Cross-catalog queries

In a company, there may be different departments using different data stacks. In this example, the HR department uses Apache Hive to store its data and the sales department uses PostgreSQL. You can run some interesting queries by joining the two departments' data together with Gravitino.

To know which employee has the largest sales amount, run this SQL:

SELECT given_name, family_name, job_title, sum(total_amount) AS total_sales
FROM catalog_hive.sales.sales as s,
  catalog_postgres.hr.employees AS e
where s.employee_id = e.employee_id
GROUP BY given_name, family_name, job_title
ORDER BY total_sales DESC
LIMIT 1;

To know the top customers who bought the most by state, run this SQL:

SELECT customer_name, location, SUM(total_amount) AS total_spent
FROM catalog_hive.sales.sales AS s,
  catalog_hive.sales.stores AS l,
  catalog_hive.sales.customers AS c
WHERE s.store_id = l.store_id AND s.customer_id = c.customer_id
GROUP BY location, customer_name
ORDER BY location, SUM(total_amount) DESC;

To know the employee's average performance rating and total sales, run this SQL:

SELECT e.employee_id, given_name, family_name, AVG(rating) AS average_rating, SUM(total_amount) AS total_sales
FROM catalog_postgres.hr.employees AS e,
  catalog_postgres.hr.employee_performance AS p,
  catalog_hive.sales.sales AS s
WHERE e.employee_id = p.employee_id AND p.employee_id = s.employee_id
GROUP BY e.employee_id,  given_name, family_name;

Using Iceberg REST service

If you want to migrate your business from Hive to Iceberg. Some tables will use Hive, and the other tables will use Iceberg. Gravitino provides an Iceberg REST catalog service, too. You can use Spark to access REST catalog to write the table data. Then, you can use Trino to read the data from the Hive table joining the Iceberg table.

spark-defaults.conf is as follows (It's already configured in the playground):

spark.sql.extensions org.apache.iceberg.spark.extensions.IcebergSparkSessionExtensions
spark.sql.catalog.catalog_iceberg org.apache.iceberg.spark.SparkCatalog
spark.sql.catalog.catalog_iceberg.type rest
spark.sql.catalog.catalog_iceberg.uri http://gravitino:9001/iceberg/
spark.locality.wait.node 0

1. Login Spark container and execute the steps.

docker exec -it playground-spark bash

spark@container_id:/$ cd /opt/spark && /bin/bash bin/spark-sql 

use catalog_iceberg;
create database sales;
use sales;
create table customers (customer_id int, customer_name varchar(100), customer_email varchar(100));
describe extended customers;    
insert into customers (customer_id, customer_name, customer_email) values (11,'Rory Brown','rory@123.com');
insert into customers (customer_id, customer_name, customer_email) values (12,'Jerry Washington','jerry@dt.com');

2. Login Trino container and execute the steps. You can get all the customers from both the Hive and Iceberg table.

docker exec -it playground-trino bash

trino@container_id:/$ trino  

select * from catalog_hive.sales.customers
union
select * from catalog_iceberg.sales.customers;

ASF Incubator disclaimer

Apache Gravitino is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Incubator. Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.
