Oxbow

Oxbow is a simple project to take an existing storage location which contains Apache Parquet files into a Delta Lake table. It is intended to run both as an AWS Lambda or as a command line application.

The project is named after Oxbow lakes to keep with the lake theme.

Using

Command Line

Executing cargo build --release from a clone of this repository will build the command line binary oxbow which can be used directly to convert a directory full of .parquet files into a Delta table.

This is an in place operation and will convert the specified table location into a Delta table!

Simple local files
% oxbow --table ./path/to/my/parquet-files
Files on AWS
% export AWS_REGION=us-west-2
% export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=xxxx
# Set other AWS environment variables
% oxbow --table s3://my-bucket/prefix/to/parquet

Lambda

The deployment.tf file contains the necessary Terraform to provision the function, a DynamoDB table for locking, S3 bucket, and IAM permissions.

After configuring the necessary authentication for Terraform, the following steps can be used to provision:

cargo lambda build --release --output-format zip --bin oxbow-lambda
terraform init
terraform plan
terraform apply
Note

Terraform configures the Lambda to run with the smallest amount of memory allowed. For bucket locations with massive .parquet files, this may need to be tuned.

Development

Building and testing can be done with cargo: cargo test.

In order to deploy this in AWS Lambda, it must first be built with the cargo lambda command line tool, e.g.:

cargo lambda build --features lambda --release --output-format zip

This will produce the file: target/lambda/oxbow-lambda/bootstrap.zip which can be uploaded direectly in the web console, or referenced in the Terraform (see deployment.tf).

Design

Command Line

When running oxbow via command line it is a one time operation. It will take an existing directory or location full of .parquet files and create a Delta table out of it.

Lambda

When running oxbow inside of a AWS Lambda function it should be configured with an S3 Event Trigger and create new commits to a Delta Lake table any time a .parquet file is added to the bucket/prefix.
