title: “Catalog API” weight: 4 type: docs aliases:
You can use the catalog to create databases. The created databases are persistence in the file system.
import org.apache.paimon.catalog.Catalog; public class CreateDatabase { public static void main(String[] args) { try { Catalog catalog = CreateCatalog.createFilesystemCatalog(); catalog.createDatabase("my_db", false); } catch (Catalog.DatabaseAlreadyExistException e) { // do something } } }
You can use the catalog to determine whether the database exists
import org.apache.paimon.catalog.Catalog; public class DatabaseExists { public static void main(String[] args) { Catalog catalog = CreateCatalog.createFilesystemCatalog(); boolean exists = catalog.databaseExists("my_db"); } }
You can use the catalog to list databases.
import org.apache.paimon.catalog.Catalog; import java.util.List; public class ListDatabases { public static void main(String[] args) { Catalog catalog = CreateCatalog.createFilesystemCatalog(); List<String> databases = catalog.listDatabases(); } }
You can use the catalog to drop database.
import org.apache.paimon.catalog.Catalog; public class DropDatabase { public static void main(String[] args) { try { Catalog catalog = CreateCatalog.createFilesystemCatalog(); catalog.dropDatabase("my_db", false, true); } catch (Catalog.DatabaseNotEmptyException e) { // do something } catch (Catalog.DatabaseNotExistException e) { // do something } } }
You can use the catalog to alter database's properties.(ps: only support hive and jdbc catalog)
import java.util.ArrayList; import org.apache.paimon.catalog.Catalog; public class AlterDatabase { public static void main(String[] args) { try { Catalog catalog = CreateCatalog.createHiveCatalog(); List<DatabaseChange> changes = new ArrayList<>(); changes.add(DatabaseChange.setProperty("k1", "v1")); changes.add(DatabaseChange.removeProperty("k2")); catalog.alterDatabase("my_db", changes, true); } catch (Catalog.DatabaseNotExistException e) { // do something } } }
You can use the catalog to determine whether the table exists
import org.apache.paimon.catalog.Catalog; import org.apache.paimon.catalog.Identifier; public class TableExists { public static void main(String[] args) { Identifier identifier = Identifier.create("my_db", "my_table"); Catalog catalog = CreateCatalog.createFilesystemCatalog(); boolean exists = catalog.tableExists(identifier); } }
You can use the catalog to list tables.
import org.apache.paimon.catalog.Catalog; import java.util.List; public class ListTables { public static void main(String[] args) { try { Catalog catalog = CreateCatalog.createFilesystemCatalog(); List<String> tables = catalog.listTables("my_db"); } catch (Catalog.DatabaseNotExistException e) { // do something } } }
You can use the catalog to drop table.
import org.apache.paimon.catalog.Catalog; import org.apache.paimon.catalog.Identifier; public class DropTable { public static void main(String[] args) { Identifier identifier = Identifier.create("my_db", "my_table"); try { Catalog catalog = CreateCatalog.createFilesystemCatalog(); catalog.dropTable(identifier, false); } catch (Catalog.TableNotExistException e) { // do something } } }
You can use the catalog to rename a table.
import org.apache.paimon.catalog.Catalog; import org.apache.paimon.catalog.Identifier; public class RenameTable { public static void main(String[] args) { Identifier fromTableIdentifier = Identifier.create("my_db", "my_table"); Identifier toTableIdentifier = Identifier.create("my_db", "test_table"); try { Catalog catalog = CreateCatalog.createFilesystemCatalog(); catalog.renameTable(fromTableIdentifier, toTableIdentifier, false); } catch (Catalog.TableAlreadyExistException e) { // do something } catch (Catalog.TableNotExistException e) { // do something } } }
You can use the catalog to alter a table, but you need to pay attention to the following points.
import org.apache.paimon.catalog.Catalog; import org.apache.paimon.catalog.Identifier; import org.apache.paimon.schema.Schema; import org.apache.paimon.schema.SchemaChange; import org.apache.paimon.types.DataField; import org.apache.paimon.types.DataTypes; import com.google.common.collect.Lists; import java.util.Arrays; import java.util.HashMap; import java.util.Map; public class AlterTable { public static void main(String[] args) { Identifier identifier = Identifier.create("my_db", "my_table"); Map<String, String> options = new HashMap<>(); options.put("bucket", "4"); Catalog catalog = CreateCatalog.createFilesystemCatalog(); catalog.createDatabase("my_db", false); try { catalog.createTable( identifier, new Schema( Lists.newArrayList( new DataField(0, "col1", DataTypes.STRING(), "field1"), new DataField(1, "col2", DataTypes.STRING(), "field2"), new DataField(2, "col3", DataTypes.STRING(), "field3"), new DataField(3, "col4", DataTypes.BIGINT(), "field4"), new DataField( 4, "col5", DataTypes.ROW( new DataField( 5, "f1", DataTypes.STRING(), "f1"), new DataField( 6, "f2", DataTypes.STRING(), "f2"), new DataField( 7, "f3", DataTypes.STRING(), "f3")), "field5"), new DataField(8, "col6", DataTypes.STRING(), "field6")), Lists.newArrayList("col1"), // partition keys Lists.newArrayList("col1", "col2"), // primary key options, "table comment"), false); } catch (Catalog.TableAlreadyExistException e) { // do something } catch (Catalog.DatabaseNotExistException e) { // do something } // add option SchemaChange addOption = SchemaChange.setOption("snapshot.time-retained", "2h"); // add column SchemaChange addColumn = SchemaChange.addColumn("col1_after", DataTypes.STRING()); // add a column after col1 SchemaChange.Move after = SchemaChange.Move.after("col1_after", "col1"); SchemaChange addColumnAfterField = SchemaChange.addColumn("col7", DataTypes.STRING(), "", after); // rename column SchemaChange renameColumn = SchemaChange.renameColumn("col3", "col3_new_name"); // drop column SchemaChange dropColumn = SchemaChange.dropColumn("col6"); // update column comment SchemaChange updateColumnComment = SchemaChange.updateColumnComment(new String[]{"col4"}, "col4 field"); // update nested column comment SchemaChange updateNestedColumnComment = SchemaChange.updateColumnComment(new String[]{"col5", "f1"}, "col5 f1 field"); // update column type SchemaChange updateColumnType = SchemaChange.updateColumnType("col4", DataTypes.DOUBLE()); // update column position, you need to pass in a parameter of type Move SchemaChange updateColumnPosition = SchemaChange.updateColumnPosition(SchemaChange.Move.first("col4")); // update column nullability SchemaChange updateColumnNullability = SchemaChange.updateColumnNullability(new String[]{"col4"}, false); // update nested column nullability SchemaChange updateNestedColumnNullability = SchemaChange.updateColumnNullability(new String[]{"col5", "f2"}, false); SchemaChange[] schemaChanges = new SchemaChange[]{ addOption, removeOption, addColumn, addColumnAfterField, renameColumn, dropColumn, updateColumnComment, updateNestedColumnComment, updateColumnType, updateColumnPosition, updateColumnNullability, updateNestedColumnNullability }; try { catalog.alterTable(identifier, Arrays.asList(schemaChanges), false); } catch (Catalog.TableNotExistException e) { // do something } catch (Catalog.ColumnAlreadyExistException e) { // do something } catch (Catalog.ColumnNotExistException e) { // do something } } }
