Write data to OmniFabric using DataX

This article describes how to write TiDB data offline to a OmniFabric database using the DataX tool.

Prepare before you start

Before you can start writing data to OmniFabric using DataX, you need to complete the installation of the following software:

Complete standalone OmniFabric deployment.
Install JDK 8+ version.
Install Python 3.8 (or plus).
Download the DataX installation package and unzip it.
Download matrixonewriter.zip and extract it to the plugin/writer/ directory in the root of your DataX project.
TiDB standalone deployment completed.
Install the MySQL Client.

Operational steps

Creating Test Data in TiDB

CREATE TABLE `tidb_dx` (
    `id` bigint(20) NOT NULL,
    `name` varchar(100) DEFAULT NULL,
    `salary` decimal(10,0) DEFAULT NULL,
    `age` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
    `entrytime` date DEFAULT NULL,
    `gender` char(1) DEFAULT NULL,
    PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
);

insert into testdx2tidb values
(1,"lisa",15660,30,'2022-10-12',0),
(2,"tom",15060,24,'2021-11-10',1),
(3,"jenny",15000,28,'2024-02-19',0),
(4,"henry",12660,24,'2022-04-22',1);

Creating a Target Table in OmniFabric

Since DataX can only synchronize data, not table structure, we need to manually create the table in the target database (OmniFabric) before we can perform the task.

CREATE TABLE `testdx2tidb` (
    `id` bigint(20) NOT NULL COMMENT "",
    `name` varchar(100) NULL COMMENT "",
    `salary` decimal(10, 0) NULL COMMENT "",
    `age` int(11) NULL COMMENT "",
    `entrytime` date NULL COMMENT "",
    `gender` varchar(1) NULL COMMENT "",
    PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
);

Configure the json file

tidb can be read directly using mysqlreader. in the job directory of datax. Edit the configuration file tidb2mo.json:

{
   "job": {
    "setting": {
        "speed": {
             "channel": 1
        },
        "errorLimit": {
            "record": 0,
            "percentage": 0
        }
    },
    "content": [
        {
            "reader": {
                "name": "mysqlreader",
                "parameter": {
                    "username": "root",

                    "column": [ "*" ],
                    "splitPk": "id",
                    "connection": [
                        {
                            "table": [ "tidb_dx" ],
                            "jdbcUrl": [
                               "jdbc:mysql://xx.xx.xx.xx:4000/test"
                            ]
                        }
                    ]
                }
            },
            "writer": {
                 "name": "OmniFabricwriter",
                "parameter": {
                    "column": ["*"],
                    "connection": [
                        {
                            "jdbcUrl": "jdbc:mysql://xx.xx.xx.xx:6001/test",
                            "table": ["testdx2tidb"]
                        }
                    ],
                    "password": "111",
                    "username": "root",
                    "writeMode": "insert"
                }
            }
        }
    ]
    }
}
