Real-Time Integration Between MongoDB and SQL Databases
8 likes•2,976 views
This document describes how WebMD uses Apache Storm to build a real-time data pipeline that moves data from MongoDB to SQL databases. A Storm topology is constructed with a spout that reads continuously from the MongoDB oplog and emits tuples. These tuples are then processed by bolts that extract fields from embedded arrays, parse documents, and write the data to SQL databases. This pipeline allows for real-time analytics on user activity data stored in MongoDB to be performed using SQL queries. The topology scales easily to handle increasing data volumes and velocities.

Editor's Notes
- #3: Leading source of health and medical information.
- #4: Data is rawData is immutable, data is trueDynamic personalized marketing campaigns
- #14: Main data structure in stormNamed list of value where each valuecan be of any typeTyple know ho to serialize primitive data types, string and byte arrays. For any other type Register serializer for this type
- #24: The oplog is a capped collection that lives in a database called local on every replicating node and records all changes to the data. Every time a client writes to the primary, an entry with enough information to reproduce the write is automatically added to the primary’s oplog. Once the write is replicated to a given secondary, that secondary’s oplog also stores a record of the write. Each oplog entry is identified with a BSON timestamp, and all secondaries use the timestamp to keep track of the latest entry they’ve applied.
- #29: How do you now if you connected to shard cluster
- #36: Use mongo Oplog as a queue
- #37: Spout extend interface
- #40: Awards array in Person document – converted into 2 documents with id as of parent document Id
- #41: Awards array – converted into 2 documents with id as of parent document Id. Name space will be used later to insert data into correct table on SQL side
- #42: Instance of BasicDBList in Java
- #44: Flatten out your document structure – use loop or recursion to flatten it outHopefully you don’t have deeply nested documents, which against mongoDB guidelines for schema design
- #48: Use tickle tuples and update in batches
- #49: Local mode vs prod mode
- #50: Increasing papallelization of the bolt. Let say You want 5 bolts to process your array, because it more time consuming operation or you want more SQLWtirerBolts,Because it takes long time to insert data, then use parallelization hint parameters in bolt definition.System will create correspponding number of workers to process your request.
