rabbitmq-redshift-streamer

A Storm topology to stream data from RabbitMQ to Redshift/Postgres.

Installation

To get psycopg2 to work, install the following packages (Ubuntu):

sudo apt-get install libpq-dev python-dev

Now, install the required packages (in a virtualenv preferably):

pip install -r virtualenvs/requirements.txt

Creating Tables

Run the sql file schema/tables.sql against your database to create the tables necessary for running this example.

Running Topology

Make sure to set the environment variables for your db instance (RS_DBNAME, RS_HOST, RS_PORT, RS_USER, RS_PASS) as well as your RabbitMQ instance (RABBITMQ_SCHEME). It will connect to your local instance (if any) by default.

Local

To run the topology in your local machine, do:

cd rabbitmq-redshift-streamer
sparse run

Production

To submit the topology to a production cluster, do:

sparse submit

Feeding Data

To see the topology in action, feed data to a RabbitMQ queue users as json:

{"id": "<user-id>", "name": "<user-name>"}
