OceanBase Tutorial
This documentation is for an unreleased version of Apache Flink CDC. We recommend you use the latest stable version.

Demo: OceanBase CDC to ElasticSearch #

Video tutorial #

Preparation #

Configure and start the components #

Create docker-compose.yml.

Note: host network mode is required in this demo, so it can only work on Linux, see network-tutorial-host.

Execute the following command in the directory where docker-compose.yml is located.

docker-compose up -d

Set password #

From OceanBase 4.0.0.0 CE, we can only fetch the commit log of non-sys tenant.

Here we use the ’test’ tenant for example.

Login with ‘root’ user of ’test’ tenant:

docker-compose exec observer obclient -h127.0.0.1 -P2881 -uroot@test

Set a password:

ALTER USER root IDENTIFIED BY 'test';

Create data for reading snapshot #

Login ‘root’ user of ’test’ tenant.

docker-compose exec observer obclient -h127.0.0.1 -P2881 -uroot@test -ptest

Insert data:

CREATE DATABASE ob;
USE ob;

Check data on Kibana #

Open http://localhost:5601/app/kibana#/management/kibana/index_pattern and create index pattern enriched_orders, then go to http://localhost:5601/app/kibana#/discover, and you will see the data of enriched_orders.

Check data changes #

Execute the following sql in OceanBase under ob database, you will find records in Kibana be updated after each step in real time.

INSERT INTO orders VALUES (default, '2020-07-30 15:22:00', 'Jark', 29.71, 104, false);
UPDATE orders SET order_status = true WHERE order_id = 10004;
DELETE FROM orders WHERE order_id = 10004;

Clean up #

Execute the following command to stop all containers in the directory where docker-compose.yml is located.

docker-compose down

Stop the flink cluster by following command.

./bin/stop-cluster.sh
