问题
I would like to ingest data into s3 from kinesis firehose formatted as parquet. So far I have just find a solution that implies creating an EMR, but I am looking for something cheaper and faster like store the received json as parquet directly from firehose or use a Lambda function.
Thank you very much, Javi.

Good news, this feature was released today!
Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose can convert the format of your input data from JSON to Apache Parquet or Apache ORC before storing the data in Amazon S3. Parquet and ORC are columnar data formats that save space and enable faster queries
To enable, go to your Firehose stream and click Edit. You should see Record format conversion section as on screenshot below:
See the documentation for details: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/firehose/latest/dev/record-format-conversion.html

After dealing with the AWS support service and a hundred of different implementations, I would like to explain what I have achieved.
Finally I have created a Lambda function that process every file generated by Kinesis Firehose, classifies my events according to the payload and stores the result in Parquet files in S3.
Doing that is not very easy:
First of all you should create a Python virtual env, including all the required libraries (in my case Pandas, NumPy, Fastparquet, etc). As the resulted file (that includes all the libraries and my Lambda function is heavy, it is necessary to launch an EC2 instance, I have used the one included in the free tier). To create the virtual env follow these steps:
- Login in EC2
- Create a folder called lambda (or any other name)
- Sudo yum -y update
- Sudo yum -y upgrade
- sudo yum -y groupinstall "Development Tools"
- sudo yum -y install blas
- sudo yum -y install lapack
- sudo yum -y install atlas-sse3-devel
- sudo yum install python27-devel python27-pip gcc
- Virtualenv env
- source env/bin/activate
- pip install boto3
- pip install fastparquet
- pip install pandas
- pip install thriftpy
- pip install s3fs
- pip install (any other required library)
- find ~/lambda/env/lib*/python2.7/site-packages/ -name "*.so" | xargs strip
- pushd env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/
- zip -r -9 -q ~/lambda.zip *
- Popd
- pushd env/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/
- zip -r -9 -q ~/lambda.zip *
- Popd
Create the lambda_function propertly:
import json import boto3 import datetime as dt import urllib import zlib import s3fs from fastparquet import write import pandas as pd import numpy as np import time def _send_to_s3_parquet(df): s3_fs = s3fs.S3FileSystem() s3_fs_open = s3_fs.open # FIXME add something else to the key or it will overwrite the file key = 'mybeautifullfile.parquet.gzip' # Include partitions! key1 and key2 write( 'ExampleS3Bucket'+ '/key1=value/key2=othervalue/' + key, df, compression='GZIP',open_with=s3_fs_open) def lambda_handler(event, context): # Get the object from the event and show its content type bucket = event['Records'][0]['s3']['bucket']['name'] key = urllib.unquote_plus(event['Records'][0]['s3']['object']['key']) try: s3 = boto3.client('s3') response = s3.get_object(Bucket=bucket, Key=key) data = response['Body'].read() decoded = data.decode('utf-8') lines = decoded.split('\n') # Do anything you like with the dataframe (Here what I do is to classify them # and write to different folders in S3 according to the values of # the columns that I want df = pd.DataFrame(lines) _send_to_s3_parquet(df) except Exception as e: print('Error getting object {} from bucket {}.'.format(key, bucket)) raise e
Copy the lambda function to the lambda.zip and deploy the lambda_function:
- Go back to your EC2 instance and add the lambda function desired to the zip: zip -9 lambda.zip lambda_function.py (lambda_function.py is the file generated in the step 2)
- Copy the generated zip file to S3, as it is very heavy to be deployed withough doing it through S3. aws s3 cp lambda.zip s3://support-bucket/lambda_packages/
- Deploy the lambda function: aws lambda update-function-code --function-name --s3-bucket support-bucket --s3-key lambda_packages/lambda.zip
Trigger the to be executed when you like, e.g, each time a new file is created in S3, or even you could associate the lambda function to Firehose. (I did not choose this option because the 'lambda' limits are lower than the Firehose limits, you can configure Firehose to write a file each 128Mb or 15 minutes, but if you associate this lambda function to Firehose, the lambda function will be executed every 3 mins or 5MB, in my case I had the problem of generate a lot of little parquet files, as for each time that the lambda function is launched I generate at least 10 files).
回答3:
Amazon Kinesis Firehose receives streaming records and can store them in Amazon S3 (or Amazon Redshift or Amazon Elasticsearch Service).
Each record can be up to 1000KB.
However, records are appended together into a text file, with batching based upon time or size. Traditionally, records are JSON format.
You will be unable to send a parquet file because it will not conform to this file format.
It is possible to trigger a Lambda data transformation function, but this will not be capable of outputting a parquet file either.
In fact, given the nature of parquet files, it is unlikely that you could build them one record at a time. Being a columnar storage format, I suspect that they really need to be created in a batch rather than having data appended per-record.
Bottom line: Nope.
