Dirty Data Archive

Overview

Dirty data refers to data that cannot be extracted, transformed, and loaded correctly due to the quality of the data itself during the process of data extraction, transform, and loading. Common dirty data may have field types, lengths, and numbers that do not match. Data serialization, deserialization exception, target library, the table does not exist, etc. Dirty data archives can dump the dirty data during InLong data flow operation to third-party storage, which is convenient for businesses to find problems. Sort currently supports dirty data archiving for S3 and Log targets, as well as dirty data archiving for common data sources such as Kafka, Doris, Iceberg, HBase, Hive, Elasticsearch, and JDBC.

Dirty Data Format

During the processing of dirty data archive, we define the following system variables for formatting dirty data:

  • SYSTEM_TIME: System time, the format is 'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss'
  • DIRTY_TYPE:Dirty type, common dirty types are SerializeError, DeserializeError, DataTypeMappingError, etc
  • DIRTY_MESSAGE: Dirty data message, that is the cause of dirty data, abnormal information, etc

The format for archiving to Log:

  • [${dirty.side-output.log-tag}] ${value}, Among them, ${value} is the merged value of ${dirty.side-output.labels} and ${dirty data}, and formatted by 'csv' or 'json'

The format for archiving to S3:

  • The filename generation format of S3: ${dirty.side-output.s3.key}/${dirty.identifier}-${randome-sequence}.${suffix}
  • The format of the data in the file of S3: it merge the ${dirty.side-output.labels} and ${dirty data} and formatted by 'csv' or 'json'

Notes:For ${dirty.side-output.log-tag}, ${dirty.side-output.labels}, ${dirty.identifier}, ${dirty.side-output.s3.key} see the configuration details below.

Usage

One example about sync Kafka data to Kafka data and we will introduce usage of dirty data archive(it is similar to other nodes).

  • The useage for archive to log
create table `table_user_input`(
`id` INT,
`name` INT,
`age` STRING)
