We need a process in place to pull data from Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) to a relational DB (PostgreSQL) on a regular basis. We will need to transfer several million records per hour and I am looking for the best industry standards to move data out of HDFS. Does any one have any suggestions?
The idea is for a web app to interact with PostgreSQL which will have aggregated data.
Sqoop is built for the purpose of moving data between relational data stores and Hadoop. Specifically, you want sqoop-export.

i have a problem where in i need to store the users's address data which can come from different vendors in different format. once i have the data i need to do some cleaning and wrinkling and run the de-duplication process to get the clean structured data. once the data is clean, i may have to pick the different attributes of address from different vendors based on some complex logic which is not defined yet. my question is
1) which database i should use i.e. NOSQL database family like document/keyvalue/dynamoDB etc or RDBMS with MPP database like redshift or azure data warehouse
2) NOSQL DB like mongoDB provide the flexibility of schema but at the same time the queries or de-duplication process is not something inbuilt for these databases.
if anyone can guide me on this i shell be very thankful for him
Thanks

I am not an HDFS nerd but coming from traditional RDMS background, I am scratching surface with newer technologies like Hadoop and Spark. Now, I was looking at my options when it comes to SQL querying on Spark data.
What I realized that Spark inherently supports SQL querying. Then I came across this link
https://www.enterprisedb.com/news/enterprisedb-announces-new-apache-spark-connecter-speed-postgres-big-data-processing
Which I am trying to make some sense of. If I am understanding it correctly. Data is still stored in HDFS format but Postgres connector is used as a query engine? If so, in presence of an existing querying framework, what new value does this postgress connector add?
Or I am misunderstanding what it actually does?
I think you are misunderstanding.
They allude to the concept of Foreign Data Wrapper.
"... They allow PostgreSQL queries to include structured or unstructured data, from multiple sources such as Postgres and NoSQL databases, as well as HDFS, as if they were in a single database. ...
"
This sounds to me like the Oracle Big Data Appliance approach. From Postgres you can look at the world of data processing it logically as though it is all Postgres, but underwater the HDFS data is accessed using Spark query engine invoked by the Postgres Query engine, but you need not concern yourself with that is the likely premise. We are in the domain of Virtualization. You can combine Big Data and Postgres data on the fly.
There is no such thing as Spark data as it is not a database as such barring some Spark fomatted data that is not compatible with Hive.
The value will be invariably be stated that you need not learn Big Data etc. Whether that is true remains to be seen.
I am concerning about extracting data from MongoDB where my application transact most of the data from MongoDB.
I have worked on sqoop to extract data and found RDBMS gel up with HDFS via sqoop. However, no clear direction found to extract data from NoSQL DB with sqoop to dump it over HDFS for big chunk of data processing?
Please share your suggestions and investigations.
I have extracted static information and data transactions from MySQL. Simply, used sqoop to store data in HDFS and processed the data. Now, I have some live transactions of 1million unique emailIDs per day which data modelled into MongoDB. I need to move data from mongoDB to HDFS for processing/ETL. How can I achieve this goal using Sqoop. I know I can schedule my task but what should be the best approach to take out data from mongoDB via sqoop.
Consider 5DN cluster with 2TB size. Data size varies from 1GB ~ 2GB in peak hours.
Sqoop is applied to import data only from relational databases. There are other ways to get data from mongo to Hadoop.
eg: https://docs.mongodb.com/ecosystem/tools/hadoop/
Or else you can use any data flow management tools like Nifi or Streamsets and get data from mongo in realtime.
I have a legacy system that is capable of inserting updating data from its database to remote RDBMS (using jdbc driver) in real time. I cannot change the code since I don't have it.
We are thinking of moving this data to nosql data source like cassandra.
I am thinking of deploying postgres in the middle and pushing it to cassandra or writing it to flat file. Since there are frequent updates I will have to store the data in two database. Is there any ETL process which can listen to sql queries (insert,update,delete) and forward it to different source?
One option would be to use bottled water to capture changes in postgresql and a create a consumer that would apply those changes to e.g. cassandra.
I'm new to spark. I'm used to a Web developer, not familiar to big data.
That's say I have a portal website. user's behavior and action will store in 5 sharded mongoDB clusters.
How to I analyze it with spark ?
Or Spark can get the data from any databases directly (postgres/mongoDB/mysql/....)
Because most website may use Relational DB as back-end database.
Should I export whole data in the website's databases into HBase ?
I stored all the users log in postgreSQL, is it practical to export data into HBase or other Spark preffered databases ?
It seems it will make lots of duplicated data if I copy the data to a new database.
Does my big data model need other framework excepts Spark ?
For analyze the data in the website's databases,
I don't see the reasons that I need HDFS, Mesos, ...
How to make Spark workers can access the data in PostgreSQL databases ?
I only know how to read data from text file,
and saw some codes about how to load data from HDFS://
But I don't have HDFS system now , should I create one HDFS for my purpose ?
Spark is a distributed compute engine; so it expects to have files accessible from all nodes. Here are some choices you might consider
There seems to be Spark - MongoDB connector. This post explains how to get it working
Export the data out of MongoDB into Hadoop. And then use Spark to process the files. For this , you need to have a Hadoop cluster running
If you are on Amazon, you can put the files in S3 store and access from Spark
