HiveQL
Hive - a data warehouse infrastructure built on top of Hadoop for
providing data summarization, query, and analysis.
Hive provides a mechanism to query the data using a SQL-like language
called HiveQL that interacts with the HDFS files

2 Prevalent DataTesting Strategies
built by
1) Stare & Compare
(also known as sampling)
2) Minus Queries
Strategy #1: Stare & Compare
built by
QuerySurge™
• Review Mapping Document (business rules, data flow mapping, data movement requirements)
• Write Tests in SQL editor
• Execute 2 Tests: 1 at Source & 1 at Target
• Dump results to 2 Excel files
• Compare results by eye (‘Stare & Compare’ or ‘sampling’)
Issue with Stare & Compare:
Impossible to visually compare billions of data sets.
Result: usually less than 1% of data is compared
Example:
Current QuerySurge customer has:
• a single test with 100 million rows & 200 columns
• = 20 billion data sets
• the client has > 7,000 total tests
built by
QuerySurge™
MINUS QUERIES subtract one result set from another result set to show difference
Comment: MINUS QUERIES need to be executed 2x (Source MINUS Target; Target MINUS Source)
Result sets may not be accurate when dealing with duplicate rows of data
No historical data from past testing – audit and regulatory issues
Processing of minus queries puts pressure on the servers
Double execution means 2x testing time and resource utilization
Potential for false positives (bad data could exist on both sides of an ETL leg)
DataTesting Strategy #2: Minus Queries
Minus Query #1: Table_1 MINUS Table_2
Minus Query #2: Table_2 MINUS Table_1
Result Set #1
Result Set #2
ISSUES with MINUS QUERIES
Write 2 MINUS queries
in SQL editor
Execute
MINUS queries 2x

Editor's Notes

  • #5 I typically read the quotes
  • #8 Informatica’s software is the premier used for ETL, but was not mentioned in Gartner’s report because they don’t have DW software.
  • #23 QuerySurge provides insight into the health of your data throughout your organization through BI dashboards and reporting at your fingertips. It is a collaborative tool that allows for distributed use of the tool throughout your organization and provides for a sharable, holistic view of your data’s health and your organization’s level of maturity of your data management.
  • #25 QuerySurge can utilized by active practitioners such as testers & developers to create and launch tests, or by managers, analysts and operations to view data test results and the overall health of the data. QuerySurge facilitates this by providing 2 types of licenses: (1) full user & (2) participant user. (1) Full User – This type of user has unlimited access to create QueryPairs, Suites, and Scenarios. This user can also schedule and run tests, see results, run and export reports, and export data. Perfect for anyone creating and/or running data tests while performing analysis of results. (2) Participant User – This user cannot create or run tests, but has access to all other information - including viewing all query pairs, results, and reports, receiving email notifications, and exporting test results and reports. Perfect for managers, analysts, architects, DBAs, developers, and operations users who need to know the health of their data.
  • #26 Your distributed team from around the world can use any of these web browsers: Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox and Safari. Installs on operating systems: Windows & Linux. QS connects to any JDBC-compliant data source. Even if it is not listed here.
  • #27 QuerySurge finds bad data by natively connecting to: any data source, whether it is any type of database, flat file or xml and can connect to any data target, whether it is a db, file, xml, data warehouse or hadoop implementation. QuerySurge pulls data from the source and the target and compares them very quickly (typically in a few minutes) and then produces reports that show every data difference, even if there are millions of rows and hundreds of columns in the test. These reports can be automatically emailed to your team. You can pick from a multitude of reports or export the results so that you can build your own reports.
