Creating an external S3 data source
In Yandex MPP Analytics for PostgreSQL, you can use Yandex Object Storage or other third-party S3 services as an external data source with the S3 connection type.
To get started, create a static access key. You will need to specify its data in the source parameters.
Create an external data source
To create an external S3 data source:
- Navigate to the folder dashboard
 and select Yandex MPP Analytics for PostgreSQL. - Open the page of the Yandex MPP Analytics for PostgreSQL cluster you need.
 - In the left-hand panel, select 
 PXF. - Click Create data source.
 - Select the 
S3connection type. - Enter a source name.
 - Configure at least one optional setting.
 - Click Create.
 
If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI installed yet, install and initialize it.
By default, the CLI uses the folder specified when creating the profile. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can also set a different folder for any specific command using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.
To create an external S3 data source:
- 
View the description of the CLI command to create a data source:
yc managed-greenplum pxf-datasource create s3 --help - 
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 the 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 tostorage.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).
 
- 
Get an IAM token for API authentication and put it into the environment variable:
export IAM_TOKEN="<IAM_token>" - 
Use the PXFDatasource.Create method and send the following 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 tostorage.yandexcloud.net. This is a default value. 
 - 
 
You can request the cluster ID with the list of clusters in the folder.
 - 
 - 
View the server response to make sure the request was successful.
 
- 
Get an IAM token for API authentication and put it into the environment variable:
export IAM_TOKEN="<IAM_token>" - 
Clone the cloudapi
 repository:cd ~/ && git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/yandex-cloud/cloudapiBelow, we assume the repository contents are stored in the
~/cloudapi/directory. - 
Use the PXFDatasourceService.Create call and send the following 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.CreateWhere:
- 
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 tostorage.yandexcloud.net. This is a default value. 
 - 
 
You can request the cluster ID with the list of clusters in the folder.
 - 
 - 
View the server response to make sure the request was successful.
