Introduction

A separate database plugin to support MariaDB-specific features and configurations

Use-cases


  • Users should not have to specify any redundant configuration (ex: JDBC type in source plugin, columns in the sink plugin)
  • Users should get field level lineage for the source and sink that is being used
  • Reference documentation should be updated to account for the changes
  • The data pipeline using source and sink plugins should run on both MapReduce and Spark engines
  • Users can choose and install MariaDB source and sink plugins
  • Users should see MariaDB logo on plugin configuration page for better experience
  • Users should get relevant information from the tooltip
    • The tooltip for the connection string should be customized specifically to the MariaDB database
    • The tooltip should describe accurately what each field is used for


User Stories

  • Users should have each tool tip accurately describe what each field does

  • Users should know the format for the MariaDB connection string by hovering over tooltip for connection string

  • Users should get field level lineage information for the MariaDB source and sink 

  • Users should be able to setup a pipeline avoiding specifying redundant information

  • Users should get updated reference document for MariaDB source and sink

  • Users should be able to read all the DB types

Design / Implementation Tips

MariaDB Connector/J reference: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/library/mariadb-connector-j/

MariaDB Connector/J repository: https://github.com/MariaDB/mariadb-connector-j

Connecting Securely Using SSL

Configuring Connector/J client to use SSL can be accomplished by the following steps:

1) Import server certificate into the Java default trust-store (although tampering the default trust-store is not recommended) or by importing it into a custom Java trust-store file. Use trustStore property to point the driver to the trusted root certificate key-store.

2) Generate the client private key and certificate or use keys and certificate files generated by the MariaDB server. Convert the client key and certificate files to a PKCS #12 archive and import the archive into a Java keystore. Use trustStore property to point the driver to the client certificate key-store.

3) Use keyStorePassword and trustStorePassword properties to specify passwords for the client and trusted certificates key-stores.

See: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/library/using-tls-ssl-with-mariadb-java-connector/

Support of the 'Use ANSI quotes to quote identifiers' property

Should not be specified via JDBC URL parameter since it will override the default SQL_MODE system variable, instead of appending 'ANSI_QUOTES' to it's value. Proper implementation has to read default SQL_MODE, append 'ANSI_QUOTES' and update the value using "SET SESSION sql_mode = 'modes';" statement.


Design

Currently MariaDB 5.5.3 and later are supported. We suggest using MariaDB Connector/J 2.4 since it is the last stable release which supports all the new features of recent releases.

Approach

Create a module mariadb-plugin in database-plugins project, reuse existing database-plugins code if possible. Add MariaDB-specific properties to configuration, add support for MariaDB-specific data types. Update UI widgets JSON definitions.

UI Impact or Changes

Configurable database properties are presented as named text fields instead of arbitrary key value pairs. MariaDB source and sink are separate entries with MariaDB logo in source and sink lists.
