Sink data from RisingWave to Google BigQuery

BigQuery is Google’s fully managed data warehouse and data analytics platform, capable of handling and analyzing large volumes of data as it is highly scalable.

You can test out this process on your own device by using the big-query-sink demo in the integration_test directory of the RisingWave repository.

Prerequisites

Before sinking data from RisingWave to BigQuery, please ensure the following:

The BigQuery table you want to sink to is accessible from RisingWave.
Ensure you have an upstream materialized view or table in RisingWave that you can sink data from.

Syntax

CREATE SINK [ IF NOT EXISTS ] sink_name
[FROM sink_from | AS select_query]
WITH (
   connector='bigquery',
   connector_parameter = 'value', ...
);

Parameters

Parameter Names	Description
sink_name	Name of the sink to be created.
sink_from	A clause that specifies the direct source from which data will be output. `sink_from` can be a materialized view or a table. Either this clause or `select_query` query must be specified.
AS select_query	A SELECT query that specifies the data to be output to the sink. Either this query or a `sink_from` clause must be specified. See SELECT for the syntax and examples of the SELECT command.
type	Required. Data format. Allowed formats: `append-only`: Output data with insert operations. `upsert`: For this type, you need to set corresponding permissions and primary keys based on the Document of BigQuery.
force_append_only	Optional. If true, forces the sink to be append-only, even if it cannot be.
bigquery.local.path	Optional. The file path leading to the JSON key file located in your local server. Details can be found in Service Accounts under your Google Cloud account. Either `bigquery.local.path` or `bigquery.s3.path` must be specified.
bigquery.s3.path	Optional. The file path leading to the JSON key file located in S3. Details can be found in Service Accounts under your Google Cloud account. At least one of `bigquery.local.path` or `bigquery.s3.path` must be specified.
bigquery.project	Required. The BigQuery project ID.
bigquery.dataset	Required. The BigQuery dataset ID.
bigquery.table	Required. The BigQuery table you want to sink to.
bigquery.credentials	Optional. Enter the JSON key credentials as a string. At least one of `bigquery.credentials` or `bigquery.local.path` or `bigquery.s3.path` must be specified.
bigquery.retry_times	Optional. The number of times the system should retry a BigQuery insert operation before ultimately returning an error. Defaults to 5.
auto_create	Optional. Defaults to false. If true, a new table will be automatically created in BigQuery when the specified table is not found.
aws.credentials.access_key_id	Optional. The access key of the S3 file. This must be specified if sinking to an S3 file.
aws.credentials.secret_access_key	Optional. The secret access key of the S3 file. This must be specified if sinking to an S3 file.
region	Optional. The service region of the S3 file. This must be specified if sinking to an S3 file.

Examples

We can create a BigQuery sink with a local JSON key file.

CREATE SINK big_query_sink_local
FROM mv1
WITH (
    connector = 'bigquery',
    type = 'append-only',
    bigquery.local.path= '${bigquery_service_account_json_path}',
    bigquery.project= '${project_id}',
    bigquery.dataset= '${dataset_id}',
    bigquery.table= '${table_id}',
    force_append_only='true'
);

Or we can create a BigQuery sink with an S3 JSON key file.

CREATE SINK big_query_sink_s3
FROM mv1
WITH (
    connector = 'bigquery',
    type = 'append-only',
    bigquery.s3.path= '${s3_service_account_json_path}',
    bigquery.project= '${project_id}',
    bigquery.dataset= '${dataset_id}',
    bigquery.table= '${table_id}',
    aws.credentials.access_key_id = '${aws_access_key}',
    aws.credentials.secret_access_key = '${aws_secret_access}',
    region = '${aws_region}',
    force_append_only='true',
);
