Loading data from Yandex Object Storage to Yandex Managed Service for YDB using Yandex Data Transfer

You can migrate data from Object Storage to the Managed Service for YDB table using Data Transfer. To do this:

1. Prepare the test data.
2. Prepare and activate the transfer.
3. Test the transfer.

If you no longer need the resources you created, delete them.

Getting startedGetting started

Prepare the infrastructure:

Prepare the test dataPrepare the test data

1. Prepare two CSV files with test data:

   • demo_data1.csv:

     1,Anna
     2,Robert
     3,Umar
     4,Algul
     5,Viktor
     

   • demo_data2.csv:

     6,Maria
     7,Alex
     

2. Upload the demo_data1.csv file to the Object Storage bucket.

Prepare and activate the transferPrepare and activate the transfer

1. Create a source endpoint of the Object Storage type with the following settings:

   • Database type: Object Storage

   • Bucket: Bucket name in Object Storage

   • Access Key ID: Public part of the service account static key. If you created your infrastructure with Terraform, copy the key value from the Yandex Lockbox secret.

   • Secret Access Key: Private part of the service account static key. If you created your infrastructure with Terraform, copy the key value from the Yandex Lockbox secret.

   • Endpoint: https://storage.yandexcloud.net

   • Region: ru-central1

   • Data format: CSV

   • Delimiter: Comma (,)

   • Table: table1

   • Result table schema: Select Manual and specify field names and data types:

     • Id: Int64
     • Name: UTF8

   Leave the default values for other properties.

2. Create a target endpoint and a transfer:

   Manually

   Using Terraform

   1. Create a target endpoint of the YDB type and specify the cluster connection parameters in it:

      • Database: Select the YDB database from the list.
      • Service account ID: Select the s3-ydb-account service account.

   2. Create a transfer of the Snapshot and replication type that will use the created endpoints.

   3. Activate the transfer and wait for its status to change to Replicating.

   1. In the object-storage-to-ydb.tf file, specify the following parameters:

      • source_endpoint_id: Source endpoint ID.
      • transfer_enabled: 1 to create a transfer.

   2. Make sure the Terraform configuration files are correct using this command:

      terraform validate
      

      If there are any errors in the configuration files, Terraform will point them out.

   3. Create the required infrastructure:

      1. Run the command to view planned changes:

         terraform plan
         

         If the resource configuration descriptions are correct, the terminal will display a list of the resources to modify and their parameters. This is a test step. No resources are updated.

      2. If you are happy with the planned changes, apply them:

         1. Run the command:

            terraform apply
            

         2. Confirm the update of resources.

         3. Wait for the operation to complete.

   4. The transfer will be activated automatically. Wait for its status to change to Replicating.

Check the transfer performance by testing the copy and replication processes.

1. Upload the demo_data2.csv file to the Object Storage bucket.

2. Make sure the data from demo_data2.csv has been added to the target database:

   Management console

   CLI

   1. In the management console, select the folder with the DB you need.
   2. In the list of services, select Managed Service for YDB.
   3. Select the database from the list.
   4. Go to the Navigation tab.
   5. Check that table1 now contains the new data.

   1. Connect to the Managed Service for YDB database.

   2. Run the following query:

          SELECT * FROM table1;
      

      Response example

      Id |   Name   |   __file_name    | __row_index 
      ---+----------+------------------+-------------
       1 | "Anna"   | "demo_data1.csv" | 1 
       2 | "Robert" | "demo_data1.csv" | 2 
       3 | "Umar"   | "demo_data1.csv" | 3 
       4 | "Algul"  | "demo_data1.csv" | 4 
       5 | "Viktor" | "demo_data1.csv" | 5 
       6 | "Maria"  | "demo_data2.csv" | 1 
       7 | "Alex"   | "demo_data2.csv" | 2 
      

Delete the resources you createdDelete the resources you created

Some resources are not free of charge. To avoid paying for them, delete the resources you no longer need:

• Transfer.

• Source endpoint.

• Delete the other resources depending on how they were created:

  Manually

  Using Terraform

  • Target endpoint.
  • Managed Service for YDB database.
  • Object Storage bucket.

  If you created your resources using Terraform:

  1. Delete all objects from the bucket.

  2. In the terminal window, go to the directory containing the infrastructure plan.

  3. Delete the object-storage-to-ydb.tf configuration file.

  4. Make sure the Terraform configuration files are correct using this command:

     terraform validate
     

     If there are any errors in the configuration files, Terraform will point them out.

  5. Confirm updating the resources.

     1. Run the command to view planned changes:

        terraform plan
        

        If the resource configuration descriptions are correct, the terminal will display a list of the resources to modify and their parameters. This is a test step. No resources are updated.

     2. If you are happy with the planned changes, apply them:

        1. Run the command:

           terraform apply
           

        2. Confirm the update of resources.

        3. Wait for the operation to complete.

     All the resources described in the object-storage-to-ydb.tf configuration file will be deleted.
