TiSpark

Maven Central License

TiSpark is a thin layer built for running Apache Spark on top of TiDB/TiKV to answer complex OLAP queries. It enjoys the merits of both the Spark platform and the distributed clusters of TiKV while seamlessly integrated to TiDB, a distributed OLTP database, to provide one-stop Hybrid Transactional/Analytical Processing (HTAP) solutions for online transactions and analyses.

The figure below show the architecture of TiSpark.

architecture

  • TiSpark integrates well with the Spark Catalyst Engine. It provides precise control of computing, which allows Spark to read data from TiKV efficiently. It also supports index seek, which significantly improves the performance of the point query execution.
  • It utilizes several strategies to push down computing to reduce the size of dataset handling by Spark SQL, which accelerates query execution. It also uses the TiDB built-in statistical information for the query plan optimization.
  • From the perspective of data integration, TiSpark + TiDB provides a solution that performs both transaction and analysis directly on the same platform without building and maintaining any ETLs. It simplifies the system architecture and reduces the cost of maintenance.
  • In addition, you can deploy and utilize the tools from the Spark ecosystem for further data processing and manipulation on TiDB. For example, using TiSpark for data analysis and ETL, retrieving data from TiKV as a data source for machine learning, generating reports from the scheduling system and so on.

TiSpark relies on the availability of TiKV clusters and PDs. You also need to set up and use the Spark clustering platform.

Most of the TiSpark logic is inside a thin layer, namely, the tikv-client library.

About mysql-connector-java

We will not provide the mysql-connector-java dependency because of the limit of the GPL license.

The following versions of TiSpark's jar will no longer include mysql-connector-java.

  • TiSpark > 3.0.1
  • TiSpark > 2.5.1 for TiSpark 2.5.x
  • TiSpark > 2.4.3 for TiSpark 2.4.x

Now, TiSpark needs mysql-connector-java for writing and auth. Please import mysql-connector-java manually when you need to write or auth.

  • you can import it by putting the jar into spark jars file

  • you can also import it when you submit spark job like

spark-submit --jars tispark-assembly-3.0_2.12-3.1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar,mysql-connector-java-8.0.29.jar

Feature Support

Feature Support TiSpark 2.4.x TiSpark 2.5.x TiSpark 3.0.x TiSpark master
SQL select without tidb_catalog
SQL select with tidb_catalog
SQL delete from with tidb_catalog
DataFrame append
DataFrame reads

see here for more detail.

Limitations

  • TiDB starts to support view since tidb-3.0. TiSpark currently does not support view. Users are not be able to observe or access data through view with TiSpark.

  • Spark config spark.sql.runSQLOnFiles should not be set to false, or you may got Error in query: Table or view not found error.

  • Using the style of "{db}.{table}.{colname}" in the condition is not supported, e.g. select * from t where db.t.col1 = 1.

  • Null in aggregration is not supported, e.g. select sum(null) from t group by col1.

  • The dependency tispark-assembly should not be packaged into JAR of JARS file (for example, build with spring-boot-maven-plugin), or you will get ClassNotFoundException. You can solve it by adding spark-wrapper-spark-version in your dependency or constructing another forms of jar file.

  • TiSpark doesn't support collations now. new_collations_enabled_on_first_bootstrap should not be set to true.

  • If spark.sql.ansi.enabled is false an overflow of sum(bigint) will not cause an error but “wrap” the result, or you can cast bigint to decimal to avoid the overflow.
