Data Pipeline Solution

Overview

Data Pipeline is a self-hosted Google App Engine sample application that enables its users to easily define and execute data flows across different Google Cloud Platform products. It is intended as a reference for connecting multiple cloud services together, and as a head start for building custom data processing solutions.

Currently, the application supports:

Installation Guide

If you don't have it already, install the Google App Engine SDK and follow the installation instructions. As noted previously, Data Pipeline use App Engine Modules which were introduced in App Engine 1.8.3 so you must install at least that version.

Open Source Libraries

The following packages should be installed in the same directory as this README.md file. The contents of the following code block and be copied and pasted into shell:

Unit Tests

Running the bundled unit tests helps verify that all the libraries have been installed correctly. To run the unit tests locally you'll need to have the App Engine SDK libraries in your Python path.

# For example, suppose the App Engine SDK was installed in /usr/local/google_appengine

GAE_PATH=/usr/local/google_appengine; export PYTHONPATH=$GAE_PATH:.; for fil in $GAE_PATH/lib/*; do export PYTHONPATH=$fil:$PYTHONPATH; done;

You can run the unit tests with:

(cd app; python -m unittest discover src '*_test.py')

Installation

  1. Make an app at appengine.google.com (we use an app id of example for this document).

  2. Enable billing.

  3. Set up a Google Cloud Storage bucket (if you don't have already have it, install gsutil. If you do have it, you might need to run gsutil config to set up the credentials):

gsutil mb gs://example/
gsutil acl ch -u example@appspot.gserviceaccount.com:FC  gs://example
gsutil defacl ch -u example@appspot.gserviceaccount.com:FC  gs://example
gsutil cp app/static/examples/languagecodes.csv gs://example
  1. Go to Application Setting for your app on appengine.google.com

  2. Copy the service account example@appspot.gserviceaccount.com

  3. Click on the Google APIs Console Project NumberClick on the Google APIs Console Project Number

  4. Add the service account under Permissions.

  5. Click on APIs and Auth and turn on BigQuery, Google Cloud Storage and Google Cloud Storage JSON API.

  6. Replace the application name in the .yaml files. So for example, if your app is called example.appspot.com:

perl -p -i~ -e 's/INSERT_YOUR_APPLICATION_NAME_HERE/example/' app/app.yaml app/backend.yaml
  1. Now publish your application:
appcfg.py update --oauth2 app/app.yaml app/backend.yaml
  1. You can now connect to your application and verify it:

    1. Click the little cog and add your default bucket of gs://example (be sure to substitute your bucket name here). You probably want to add prefix (e.g. tmp/) to isolate any temporary objects used to move data between stages.

    2. Now create a new pipeline and upload the contents of app/static/examples/gcstobigquery.json.

    3. Run the pipeline. It should successfully run to completion.

    4. Go to BigQuery and view your dataset and table.

Set up a Hadoop Environment

As in the previous section, here we also assume gs://example for your bucket; and gce-example is a project that has enough quota for Google Compute Engine to host your Hadoop cluster. The quota size (instances and CPUs) depends on the Hadoop cluster size you will be using. We can use the same project as we did for BigQuery. As before, the following script can be copied and pasted into a shell as-is:

# Setup variables
BUCKET=gs://example  # Change this.
PROJECT=gce-example  # Change this.
PACKAGE_DIR=$BUCKET/hadoop

# Download Hadoop
curl -O http://archive.apache.org/dist/hadoop/core/hadoop-1.2.1/hadoop-1.2.1.tar.gz

In order for this App Engine application to launch Google Compute Engine instances in the project, the service account of the App Engine application must be granted edit permissions. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Go to Application Settings on in the App Engine console and copy the value (should be an email address) indicated the Service Account Name field.

  2. Go to the Cloud Console of the project for which Google Compute Engine will be used.

  3. Go to the Permissions page, and click the red ADD MEMBER button on the top.

  4. Paste the value from step #1 as the email address. Make sure the account has can edit permission. Click the Add button to save the change.
