Creating an external S3 data source

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI yet, install and initialize it.

The folder specified in the CLI profile is used by default. You can specify a different folder through the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

To create an external S3 data source:

1. View the description of the CLI command to create a data source:

   yc managed-greenplum pxf-datasource create s3 --help
   

2. Configure the data source:

   yc managed-greenplum pxf-datasource create s3 <external_data_source_name> \
      --cluster-id=<cluster_ID> \
      --access-key=<static_key_ID> \
      --secret-key=<secret_part_of_static_key> \
      --endpoint=<S3_storage_address> \
      --fast-upload=<fast_upload>
   

   Where:

   • cluster-id: Cluster ID. You can get it with a list of clusters in the folder.
   • access-key, secret-key: ID and contents of the static access key.
   • endpoint: S3 storage address. Object Storage is set to storage.yandexcloud.net. This is a default value.
   • fast-upload: Fast upload of large files to S3 storage. The possible values are:
     • true (default): PXF generates files on the disk before sending them to S3 storage.
     • false: PXF generates files in RAM (if RAM capacity is reached, it writes them to disk).

1. Get an IAM token for API authentication and put it into the environment variable:

   export IAM_TOKEN="<IAM_token>"
   

2. Use the PXFDatasource.Create method and make a request, e.g., via cURL:

   curl \
       --request POST \
       --header "Authorization: Bearer $IAM_TOKEN" \
       --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
       --url 'https://mdb.api.cloud.yandex.net/managed-greenplum/v1/clusters/<cluster_ID>/pxf_datasources' \
       --data '{
                 "datasource": {
                   "name": "<external_data_source_name>",
                   "s3": {
                     "accessKey": "<static_key_ID>",
                     "secretKey": "<secret_part_of_static_key>",
                     "fastUpload": "<fast_upload>",
                     "endpoint": "<S3_storage_address>"
                   }
                 }
               }'
   

   Where:

   • name: External data source name.

   • s3: External data source settings:

     • accessKey, secretKey: ID and contents of the static access key.

     • fastUpload: Fast upload of large files to S3 storage. The possible values are:

       • true (default): PXF generates files on the disk before sending them to S3 storage.
       • false: PXF generates files in RAM (if RAM capacity is reached, it writes them to disk).

     • endpoint: S3 storage address. Object Storage is set to storage.yandexcloud.net. This is a default value.

   You can get the cluster ID with a list of clusters in the folder.

3. View the server response to make sure the request was successful.

1. Get an IAM token for API authentication and put it into the environment variable:

   export IAM_TOKEN="<IAM_token>"
   

2. Clone the cloudapi repository:

   cd ~/ && git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/yandex-cloud/cloudapi
   

   Below, we assume the repository contents are stored in the ~/cloudapi/ directory.

3. Use the PXFDatasourceService.Create call and make a request, e.g., via gRPCurl:

   grpcurl \
       -format json \
       -import-path ~/cloudapi/ \
       -import-path ~/cloudapi/third_party/googleapis/ \
       -proto ~/cloudapi/yandex/cloud/mdb/greenplum/v1/pxf_service.proto \
       -rpc-header "Authorization: Bearer $IAM_TOKEN" \
       -d '{
             "cluster_id": "<cluster_ID>"
             "datasource": {
               "name": "<external_data_source_name>",
               "s3": {
                 "access_key": "<static_key_ID>",
                 "secret_key": "<secret_part_of_static_key>",
                 "fast_upload": <fast_upload>,
                 "endpoint": "<S3_storage_address>"
               }
             }
           }' \
       mdb.api.cloud.yandex.net:443 \
       yandex.cloud.mdb.greenplum.v1.PXFDatasourceService.Create
   

   Where:

   • name: External data source name.

   • s3: External data source settings:

     • access_key, secret_key: ID and contents of the static access key.

     • fast_upload: Fast upload of large files to S3 storage. The possible values are:

       • true (default): PXF generates files on the disk before sending them to S3 storage.
       • false: PXF generates files in RAM (if RAM capacity is reached, it writes them to disk).

     • endpoint: S3 storage address. Object Storage is set to storage.yandexcloud.net. This is a default value.

   You can get the cluster ID with a list of clusters in the folder.

4. View the server response to make sure the request was successful.
