Snowplow S3 Loader

Build Status Release License

Overview

The Snowplow S3 Loader consumes records from an Amazon Kinesis stream and writes them to S3.

There are 2 file formats supported:

  • LZO
  • GZip

LZO

The records are treated as raw byte arrays. Elephant Bird's BinaryBlockWriter class is used to serialize them as a Protocol Buffers array (so it is clear where one record ends and the next begins) before compressing them.

The compression process generates both compressed .lzo files and small .lzo.index files (splittable LZO). Each index file contain the byte offsets of the LZO blocks in the corresponding compressed file, meaning that the blocks can be processed in parallel.

GZip

The records are treated as byte arrays containing UTF-8 encoded strings (whether CSV, JSON or TSV). New lines are used to separate records written to a file. This format can be used with the Snowplow Kinesis Enriched stream, among other streams.

Quickstart

Docker

docker run snowplow/snowplow-s3-loader:2.1.4 --help

Download jar

curl -Lo snowplow-s3-loader.jar https://github.com/snowplow/snowplow-s3-loader/releases/download/2.1.4/snowplow-s3-loader-2.1.4.jar
java -jar snowplow-s3-loader.jar --help

Build it yourself

Assuming git and SBT installed:

$ git clone https://github.com/snowplow/snowplow-s3-loader.git
$ cd snowplow-s3-loader
$ sbt assembly

Prerequisites

You must have lzop and lzop-dev installed. In Ubuntu, install them like this:

$ sudo apt-get install lzop liblzo2-dev

Command Line Interface

The Snowplow S3 Loader has the following command-line interface:

snowplow-s3-loader: Version 2.1.4

Usage: snowplow-s3-loader [options]

--config <filename>

Running

Create your own config file:

$ cp config/config.hocon.sample my.conf

You will need to edit all fields in the config. Consult the configuration reference of the setup guide on how to fill in the fields.

Next, start the sink, making sure to specify your new config file:
