Use Arkobi Digital's low-code cloud native platform RunMyProcess's DigitalSuite EnterpriseConnect (DSEC) to connect to Presto.
The CData JDBC Driver for Presto implements JDBC Standards and enables a applications ranging from BI to IDE to connect with Presto. In this article, we describe how to connect to Presto data from Arkobi Digital RunMyProcess's DSEC and connect to Presto in RunMyProcess.
About Presto Data Integration
Accessing and integrating live data from Trino and Presto SQL engines has never been easier with CData. Customers rely on CData connectivity to:
- Access data from Trino v345 and above (formerly PrestoSQL) and Presto v0.242 and above (formerly PrestoDB)
- Read and write access all of the data underlying your Trino or Presto instances
- Optimized query generation for maximum throughput.
Presto and Trino allow users to access a variety of underlying data sources through a single endpoint. When paired with CData connectivity, users get pure, SQL-92 access to their instances, allowing them to integrate business data with a data warehouse or easily access live data directly from their preferred tools, like Power BI and Tableau.
In many cases, CData's live connectivity surpasses the native import functionality available in tools. One customer was unable to effectively use Power BI due to the size of the datasets needed for reporting. When the company implemented the CData Power BI Connector for Presto they were able to generate reports in real-time using the DirectQuery connection mode.
Getting Started
Setting up EnterpriseConnect Agent
Configure the EnterpriseConnect Agent following the EnterpriseConnect page in the RunMyProcess documentation.
Setting up JDBC Adapter
The JDBC Adapter section describes the steps to connect to RDBMS through JDBC. Follow the steps and open the JDBC.config file.
- Create a JSON entry for the CData JDBC Driver for Presto, e.g.
Presto = { "sqlDriver" : "...", "sqlSource" : "...", "sqlDriverPath" : "..." }
- Set the "sqlDriver" field to the Class name for the CData JDBC Driver, e.g.
cdata.jdbc.presto.PrestoDriver - Set the "sqlSource" field to a JDBC URL for connecting to Presto, e.g.
jdbc:presto:Server=127.0.0.1;Port=8080;Built-in Connection String Designer
For assistance in constructing the JDBC URL, use the connection string designer built into the Presto JDBC Driver. Either double-click the JAR file or execute the jar file from the command-line.
java -jar cdata.jdbc.presto.jar
Fill in the connection properties and copy the connection string to the clipboard.
Set the Server and Port connection properties to connect, in addition to any authentication properties that may be required.
To enable TLS/SSL, set UseSSL to true.
Authenticating with LDAP
In order to authenticate with LDAP, set the following connection properties:
- AuthScheme: Set this to LDAP.
- User: The username being authenticated with in LDAP.
- Password: The password associated with the User you are authenticating against LDAP with.
Authenticating with Kerberos
In order to authenticate with KERBEROS, set the following connection properties:
- AuthScheme: Set this to KERBEROS.
- KerberosKDC: The Kerberos Key Distribution Center (KDC) service used to authenticate the user.
- KerberosRealm: The Kerberos Realm used to authenticate the user with.
- KerberosSPN: The Service Principal Name for the Kerberos Domain Controller.
- KerberosKeytabFile: The Keytab file containing your pairs of Kerberos principals and encrypted keys.
- User: The user who is authenticating to Kerberos.
- Password: The password used to authenticate to Kerberos.
- Set the "sqlDriverPath" field to the name of the CData JDBC Driver JAR file, e.g.
cdata.jdbc.presto.jar
Sample JDBC.config File
#DBAgent Configuration
Presto = {"sqlDriver" : "cdata.jdbc.presto.PrestoDriver", "sqlSource" = "jdbc:presto:Server=127.0.0.1;Port=8080;","sqlDriverPath" = "cdata.jdbc.presto.jar" }
Put the JDBC driver JAR file (cdata.jdbc.presto.jar) into the same directory as unified-adapter-[version].jar.
Note: Make sure to put the CData license file (cdata.jdbc.presto.lic) into the same directory. Since the license is generated based on the unique identifier of the machine where the product in installed, you will need an offline activation if you want to put the file on another machine.
Starting DigitalSuite EnterpriseConnect Agent
In Windows, start RunMyProcess DigitalSuite EnterpriseConnect Agent in Windows services. To start the application through command line, see Starting the EnterpriseConnect Agent in the RunMyProcess documents.
Starting the JDBC Adapter
Start the JDBC Adapter from runAdapter.bat. Once the Adapter is running, you can access the application through the agent address (e.g. 127.0.0.1:8080). Below is an example executing the command in Windows.
... > java -Djava.util.logging.config.file=./log.properties -cp lib/* org.runmyprocess.sec2.AdapterHandler :
2021-06-09 14:37:58|INFO|correlationId=|Searching for config file...
2021-06-09 14:37:58|INFO|correlationId=|Adapter Handler started with [JDBC] configuration
2021-06-09 14:37:59|INFO|correlationId=|agent address: 127.0.0.1:8080
2021-06-09 14:38:00.251:INFO::ConnectionThread: Logging initialized @1820ms to org.eclipse.jetty.util.log.StdErrLog
2021-06-09 14:38:00|INFO|correlationId=|onConnect() websocket connection between Agent and Adapter established
Once the DigitalSuite EnterpriseConnect Agent and JDBC Adapter are running, access http://localhost:(specified-port-number)/ through your browser to open the page shown below.
Check the availability of the JDBC Adapter using tools such as Postman or cURL. Here, we use Postman to send the HTTP POST request.
Configure the RequestHeader as follows:
Content-Type application/json
Configure the RequestBody as follows:
{
"protocol":"JDBC",
"data":{
"DBType":"Presto",
"sqlUsername":"",
"sqlPassword":"",
"sqlStatement":"SELECT * FROM Customer"
}
}
If the JDBC.config file contains credential information, sqlUsername and sqlPassword can be left empty. If you are not sure of the table name, you can retrieve the list of tables using the request SELECT * FROM sys_tables
The request is successful if the Status is 200 and the Body contains Presto data in JSON format.
Connect to Presto through DSEC Agent in DigitalSuite Studio
Create a DigitalSuite Studio project and then create a Provider in the project.
- URL: The URL for accessing JDBC Agent (e.g. http:localhost:8080/)
- Authentication Scheme: Login/password
- Login: The value from agent.user in the application.properties file
- Password: agent.password in the application.properties file
- Secured: Checked
- Use DigitalSuite EnterpriseConnect: Checked
- With domain: The value from agent.domain in application.properties file
Next, create a Connector in the Provider.
- Connector URL: Leave this empty
- Architecture: REST/XML-RPC
- Method: POST
- Result format: JSON
- Accept media type: application/json
- Character set: Automatic
- Content: Same as the Request body used in the JDBC Adapter
- Content type: application/json
The JSON data we used as the Request body in JDBC Adapter:
{
"protocol":"JDBC",
"data":{
"DBType":"Presto",
"sqlUsername":"",
"sqlPassword":"",
"sqlStatement":"SELECT * FROM Customer"
}
}
Open Launch Test to perform the test. The test is successful if Presto data is shown in Result on the right pane.
Now you can use Presto data in RunMyProcess DigitalSuite Studio through DSEC.
