How to use azure-sqldb-spark connector in pyspark

问题

I want to write around 10 GB of data everyday to Azure SQL server DB using PySpark.Currently using JDBC driver which takes hours making insert statements one by one.

I am planning to use azure-sqldb-spark connector which claims to turbo boost the write using bulk insert.

I went through the official doc: https://github.com/Azure/azure-sqldb-spark. The library is written in scala and basically requires the use of 2 scala classes :

import com.microsoft.azure.sqldb.spark.config.Config
import com.microsoft.azure.sqldb.spark.connect._

val bulkCopyConfig = Config(Map(
  "url"               -> "mysqlserver.database.windows.net",
  "databaseName"      -> "MyDatabase",
  "user"              -> "username",
  "password"          -> "*********",
  "databaseName"      -> "MyDatabase",
  "dbTable"           -> "dbo.Clients",
  "bulkCopyBatchSize" -> "2500",
  "bulkCopyTableLock" -> "true",
  "bulkCopyTimeout"   -> "600"
))

df.bulkCopyToSqlDB(bulkCopyConfig)

Can it be implemented in used in pyspark like this (using sc._jvm):

Config = sc._jvm.com.microsoft.azure.sqldb.spark.config.Config
connect= sc._jvm.com.microsoft.azure.sqldb.spark.connect._

//all config

df.connect.bulkCopyToSqlDB(bulkCopyConfig)

I am not an expert in Python. Can anybody help me with the complete snippet to get this done.

回答1:

The Spark connector currently (as of march 2019) only supports the Scala API (as documented here). So if you are working in a notebook, you could do all the preprocessing in python, finally register the dataframe as a temp table, e. g. :

df.createOrReplaceTempView('testbulk')

and have to do the final step in Scala:

%scala
//configs...
spark.table("testbulk").bulkCopyToSqlDB(bulkCopyConfig)
