Study Notes

Change Data Capture (CDC) Process with Delta Live Tables (DLT)

  • Utilizes Delta Live Tables (DLT) for processing CDC feeds sourced from JSON files.
  • Pull the latest course materials from GitHub and load new CDC files into the source directory.

CDC Data Structure

  • Each CDC data JSON file includes operational columns:
    • row_status: Indicates the operation type (Insert, Update, Delete).
    • row_time: Timestamp of the operation, used as a sequence key during processing.
  • Update and insert operations contain values for all fields; delete operations have null values except for book_id.

DLT Pipeline Overview

  • Consists of creating and managing tables for CDC data.
  • Bronze table: Ingests the CDC feed using auto loader for incremental loading.
  • Silver table: Target table where changes are applied.

Table Operations

  • Declare the target silver table before applying changes.
  • The Apply Changes Into command specifies:
    • Target: book_silver.
    • Source: books_bronze.
    • Primary key: book_id determines whether to update or insert records.
    • Delete records where row_status is "delete".
    • Use row_time for operation ordering.
    • Include all fields except operational columns (row_status, row_time).

Gold Layer and Views

  • The gold layer involves creating an aggregate query to form a non-streaming live table from book_silver.
  • DLT views can be defined by replacing TABLE with VIEW; scoped to the DLT pipeline, and not persisted to the metastore.
  • Views enable data equality enforcement, and metrics for views are collected similarly to tables.

Notebook Interaction

  • DLT allows referencing tables and views across multiple notebooks within a single pipeline.
  • Expandability of DLT pipelines by adding new notebooks to enhance functionality.

Updating the Pipeline

  • To add a new notebook to an existing pipeline:
    • Access pipeline settings and select the notebook to integrate.
  • Start the updated pipeline; refreshing may be required to clear and reload data successfully.

Final Observations

  • The updated pipeline includes both the newly referenced books tables and the view book_sales, which joins tables from different notebooks in the DLT context.
