Certified

Important Capabilities​

CapabilityStatusNotes
Data Profiling✅Optionally enabled via configuration

This plugin extracts the following:

  • Metadata for Presto views and Hive tables (external / managed)
  • Column types associated with each table / view
  • Detailed table / view property info

CLI based Ingestion​

Install the Plugin​

pip install 'acryl-datahub[presto-on-hive]'

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: presto-on-hive
  config:
    # Hive metastore DB connection
    host_port: localhost:5432
    database: metastore

    # specify the schema where metastore tables reside
    schema_pattern:
      allow:
        - "^public"

    # credentials
    username: user # optional
    password: pass # optional

    #scheme: 'postgresql+psycopg2' # set this if metastore db is using postgres
    #scheme: 'mysql+pymysql' # set this if metastore db is using mysql, default if unset

    # set this to have advanced filters on what to ingest
    #views_where_clause_suffix: AND d."name" in ('db1')
    #tables_where_clause_suffix: AND d."name" in ('db1')

Default: False
