HiveCopyActivity - AWS Data Pipeline (original) (raw)

Runs a Hive query on an EMR cluster. HiveCopyActivity makes it easier to copy data between DynamoDB tables. HiveCopyActivity accepts a HiveQL statement to filter input data from DynamoDB at the column and row level.

Example

The following example shows how to use HiveCopyActivity andDynamoDBExportDataFormat to copy data from oneDynamoDBDataNode to another, while filtering data, based on a time stamp.

Syntax

Object Invocation Fields Description Slot Type
schedule This object is invoked within the execution of a schedule interval. Users must specify a schedule reference to another object to set the dependency execution order for this object. Users can satisfy this requirement by explicitly setting a schedule on the object, for example, by specifying "schedule": {"ref": "DefaultSchedule"}. In most cases, it is better to put the schedule reference on the default pipeline object so that all objects inherit that schedule. Or, if the pipeline has a tree of schedules (schedules within the master schedule), users can create a parent object that has a schedule reference. For more information about example optional schedule configurations, see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/datapipeline/latest/DeveloperGuide/dp-object-schedule.html Reference Object, e.g. "schedule":{"ref":"myScheduleId"}
Required Group (One of the following is required) Description Slot Type
runsOn Specify cluster to run on. Reference Object, e.g. "runsOn":{"ref":"myResourceId"}
workerGroup The worker group. This is used for routing tasks. If you provide a runsOn value and workerGroup exists,workerGroup is ignored. String
Optional Fields Description Slot Type
attemptStatus The most recently reported status from the remote activity. String
attemptTimeout The timeout for remote work completion. If set, then a remote activity that does not complete within the set time of starting may be retried. Period
dependsOn Specifies the dependency on another runnable object. Reference Object, e.g. "dependsOn":{"ref":"myActivityId"}
failureAndRerunMode Describes consumer node behavior when dependencies fail or are rerun. Enumeration
filterSql A Hive SQL statement fragment that filters a subset of DynamoDB or Amazon S3 data to copy. The filter should only contain predicates and not begin with a WHERE clause, because AWS Data Pipeline adds it automatically. String
input The input data source. This must be a S3DataNode orDynamoDBDataNode. If you useDynamoDBNode, specify aDynamoDBExportDataFormat. Reference Object, e.g. "input":{"ref":"myDataNodeId"}
lateAfterTimeout The elapsed time after pipeline start within which the object must complete. It is triggered only when the schedule type is not set to ondemand. Period
maxActiveInstances The maximum number of concurrent active instances of a component. Re-runs do not count toward the number of active instances. Integer
maximumRetries The maximum number attempt retries on failure. Integer
onFail An action to run when current object fails. Reference Object, e.g. "onFail":{"ref":"myActionId"}
onLateAction Actions that should be triggered if an object has not yet been scheduled or still not completed. Reference Object, e.g. "onLateAction":{"ref":"myActionId"}
onSuccess An action to run when current object succeeds. Reference Object, e.g. "onSuccess":{"ref":"myActionId"}
output The output data source. If input is S3DataNode, this must beDynamoDBDataNode. Otherwise, this can be S3DataNode orDynamoDBDataNode. If you useDynamoDBNode, specify aDynamoDBExportDataFormat. Reference Object, e.g. "output":{"ref":"myDataNodeId"}
parent The parent of the current object from which slots will be inherited. Reference Object, e.g. "parent":{"ref":"myBaseObjectId"}
pipelineLogUri The Amazon S3 URI, such as 's3://BucketName/Key/', for uploading logs for the pipeline. String
postActivityTaskConfig The post-activity configuration script to be run. This consists of a URI of the shell script in Amazon S3 and a list of arguments. Reference Object, e.g. "postActivityTaskConfig":{"ref":"myShellScriptConfigId"}
preActivityTaskConfig The pre-activity configuration script to be run. This consists of a URI of the shell script in Amazon S3 and a list of arguments. Reference Object, e.g. "preActivityTaskConfig":{"ref":"myShellScriptConfigId"}
precondition Optionally defines a precondition. A data node is not marked "READY" until all preconditions have been met. Reference Object, e.g. "precondition":{"ref":"myPreconditionId"}
reportProgressTimeout The timeout for remote work successive calls to reportProgress. If set, then remote activities that do not report progress for the specified period may be considered stalled and so retried. Period
resizeClusterBeforeRunning Resize the cluster before performing this activity to accommodate DynamoDB data nodes specified as inputs or outputs. NoteIf your activity uses aDynamoDBDataNode as either an input or output data node, and if you set theresizeClusterBeforeRunning toTRUE, AWS Data Pipeline starts usingm3.xlarge instance types. This overwrites your instance type choices withm3.xlarge, which could increase your monthly costs. Boolean
resizeClusterMaxInstances A limit on the maximum number of instances that can be requested by the resize algorithm Integer
retryDelay The timeout duration between two retry attempts. Period
scheduleType Schedule type allows you to specify whether the objects in your pipeline definition should be scheduled at the beginning of interval or end of the interval. Time Series Style Scheduling means instances are scheduled at the end of each interval and Cron Style Scheduling means instances are scheduled at the beginning of each interval. An on-demand schedule allows you to run a pipeline one time per activation. This means you do not have to clone or re-create the pipeline to run it again. If you use an on-demand schedule it must be specified in the default object and must be the only scheduleType specified for objects in the pipeline. To use on-demand pipelines, you simply call the ActivatePipeline operation for each subsequent run. Values are: cron, ondemand, and timeseries. Enumeration
