Redshift

There are 2 sources that provide integration with Redshift

Source ModuleDocumentation

redshift

This plugin extracts the following:

  • Metadata for databases, schemas, views and tables
  • Column types associated with each table
  • Also supports PostGIS extensions
  • Table, row, and column statistics via optional SQL profiling
  • Table lineage
tip

You can also get fine-grained usage statistics for Redshift using the redshift-usage source described below.

Prerequisites

This source needs to access system tables that require extra permissions. To grant these permissions, please alter your datahub Redshift user the following way:

ALTER USER datahub_user WITH SYSLOG ACCESS UNRESTRICTED;
GRANT SELECT ON pg_catalog.svv_table_info to datahub_user;
GRANT SELECT ON pg_catalog.svl_user_info to datahub_user;
note

Giving a user unrestricted access to system tables gives the user visibility to data generated by other users. For example, STL_QUERY and STL_QUERYTEXT contain the full text of INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE statements.

Lineage

There are multiple lineage collector implementations as Redshift does not support table lineage out of the box.

stl_scan_based

The stl_scan based collector uses Redshift's stl_insert and stl_scan system tables to discover lineage between tables. Pros:

  • Fast
  • Reliable

Cons:

  • Does not work with Spectrum/external tables because those scans do not show up in stl_scan table.
  • If a table is depending on a view then the view won't be listed as dependency. Instead the table will be connected with the view's dependencies.

sql_based

The sql_based based collector uses Redshift's stl_insert to discover all the insert queries and uses sql parsing to discover the dependecies.

Pros:

  • Works with Spectrum tables
  • Views are connected properly if a table depends on it

Cons:

  • Slow.
  • Less reliable as the query parser can fail on certain queries

mixed

Using both collector above and first applying the sql based and then the stl_scan based one.

Pros:

  • Works with Spectrum tables
  • Views are connected properly if a table depends on it
  • A bit more reliable than the sql_based one only

Cons:

  • Slow
  • May be incorrect at times as the query parser can fail on certain queries
note

The redshift stl redshift tables which are used for getting data lineage only retain approximately two to five days of log history. This means you cannot extract lineage from queries issued outside that window.

redshift-usage

This plugin extracts usage statistics for datasets in Amazon Redshift.

Note: Usage information is computed by querying the following system tables -

  1. stl_scan
  2. svv_table_info
  3. stl_query
  4. svl_user_info

To grant access this plugin for all system tables, please alter your datahub Redshift user the following way:

ALTER USER datahub_user WITH SYSLOG ACCESS UNRESTRICTED;

This plugin has the below functionalities -

  1. For a specific dataset this plugin ingests the following statistics -
    1. top n queries.
    2. top users.
  2. Aggregation of these statistics into buckets, by day or hour granularity.
note

This source only does usage statistics. To get the tables, views, and schemas in your Redshift warehouse, ingest using the redshift source described above.

note

Redshift system tables have some latency in getting data from queries. In addition, these tables only maintain logs for 2-5 days. You can find more information from the official documentation here.

Read more...

To get all metadata from Redshift you need to use two plugins redshift and redshift-usage. Both of them are described in this page. These will require 2 separate recipes. We understand this is not ideal and we plan to make this easier in the future.
