CDC Connectors for Apache Flink^®

CDC Connectors for Apache Flink^® is a set of source connectors for Apache Flink^®, ingesting changes from different databases using change data capture (CDC). CDC Connectors for Apache Flink^® integrates Debezium as the engine to capture data changes. So it can fully leverage the ability of Debezium. See more about what is Debezium.

This README is meant as a brief walkthrough on the core features of CDC Connectors for Apache Flink^®. For a fully detailed documentation, please see Documentation.

Features

1. Supports reading database snapshot and continues to read transaction logs with exactly-once processing even failures happen.
2. CDC connectors for DataStream API, users can consume changes on multiple databases and tables in a single job without Debezium and Kafka deployed.
3. CDC connectors for Table/SQL API, users can use SQL DDL to create a CDC source to monitor changes on a single table.

Usage for Table/SQL API

We need several steps to setup a Flink cluster with the provided connector.

1. Setup a Flink cluster with version 1.12+ and Java 8+ installed.
2. Download the connector SQL jars from the Download page (or build yourself).
3. Put the downloaded jars under FLINK_HOME/lib/.
4. Restart the Flink cluster.

The example shows how to create a MySQL CDC source in Flink SQL Client and execute queries on it.

-- creates a mysql cdc table source
CREATE TABLE mysql_binlog (
 id INT NOT NULL,
 name STRING,
 description STRING,
 weight DECIMAL(10,3)
) WITH (
 'connector' = 'mysql-cdc',
 'hostname' = 'localhost',
 'port' = '3306',
 'username' = 'flinkuser',
 'password' = 'flinkpw',
 'database-name' = 'inventory',
 'table-name' = 'products'
);

-- read snapshot and binlog data from mysql, and do some transformation, and show on the client
SELECT id, UPPER(name), description, weight FROM mysql_binlog;

Usage for DataStream API

Include following Maven dependency (available through Maven Central):

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.ververica</groupId>
  <!-- add the dependency matching your database -->
  <artifactId>flink-connector-mysql-cdc</artifactId>
  <!-- The dependency is available only for stable releases, SNAPSHOT dependency need build by yourself. -->
  <version>2.4-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>

import org.apache.flink.api.common.eventtime.WatermarkStrategy;
import org.apache.flink.streaming.api.environment.StreamExecutionEnvironment;
import com.ververica.cdc.debezium.JsonDebeziumDeserializationSchema;
import com.ververica.cdc.connectors.mysql.source.MySqlSource;

public class MySqlSourceExample {
  public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    MySqlSource<String> mySqlSource = MySqlSource.<String>builder()
            .hostname("yourHostname")
            .port(yourPort)
            .databaseList("yourDatabaseName") // set captured database
            .tableList("yourDatabaseName.yourTableName") // set captured table
            .username("yourUsername")
            .password("yourPassword")
            .deserializer(new JsonDebeziumDeserializationSchema()) // converts SourceRecord to JSON String
            .build();

    StreamExecutionEnvironment env = StreamExecutionEnvironment.getExecutionEnvironment();

    // enable checkpoint
    env.enableCheckpointing(3000);

    env
      .fromSource(mySqlSource, WatermarkStrategy.noWatermarks(), "MySQL Source")
      // set 4 parallel source tasks
      .setParallelism(4)
      .print().setParallelism(1); // use parallelism 1 for sink to keep message ordering

    env.execute("Print MySQL Snapshot + Binlog");
  }
}

Building from source
