Setting up Apache Impala with dbt Developer Hub begins with the installation of the adapter. This process is straightforward and can be achieved using pip, a package installer for Python.
pip install dbt-impala
This command installs the dbt-impala adapter. It's important to ensure that pip is installed and updated on your system before running this command.
After installing the adapter, the next step is to configure dbt-impala. This involves setting up Impala-specific configurations to ensure smooth operation.
dbt-impala configure
This command initiates the configuration process for dbt-impala. The specific configurations will depend on your specific setup and requirements.
Once dbt-impala is configured, it can be connected to Apache Impala and Cloudera Data Platform clusters. This allows for the execution of SQL-like queries on these platforms.
dbt-impala connect
This command establishes a connection between dbt-impala and the specified clusters. Ensure that the clusters are up and running before initiating this connection.
dbt-impala supports three authentication mechanisms: insecure, which uses no authentication and is recommended for testing.
dbt-impala authenticate --method=insecure
This command sets the authentication method to 'insecure', which does not require any authentication. This method is recommended for testing purposes only.
Apache Impala supports various modes for the incremental model, including 'append' and 'insert_overwrite'. The 'append' mode inserts new records without updating or overwriting any existing data, while 'insert_overwrite' inserts data for new records and updates data for changed records when used along with the partition clause.
dbt-impala incremental --mode=append
This command sets the incremental model mode to 'append'. This mode inserts new records without updating or overwriting any existing data.
