3. Agenda
● Use Cases
● PXF Architecture
● Q&A

4. Greenplum-PXF use cases
● Combined Data Analysis
● Hadoop as the data lake / landing zone
● Hadoop as the data archive store (cold data store)
● Import / Export data for external systems (RDBMS)

5. PXF Extension Framework Overview
Apache Tomcat
PXF WebappREST API Java API
External Tables
HTTP, port: 51200
Java API
Java API
Pivotal Greenplum
In progress:
PXF Service*
PXF Service is installed on each GPDB segment*

6. Design - Define External Tables (SQL)
CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE ext_table <attr list, ...>
LOCATION('pxf://path/to/data?PROFILE=<profile>&
<Other custom user options>=<value>')
FORMAT'custom'(formatter='pxfwritable_import');
CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE ext_table <attr list, ...>
LOCATION('pxf://path/to/data?PROFILE=avro
FORMAT'custom'(formatter='pxfwritable_import');
* When defining a table, PXF doesn’t check if the file exists, accessible or name, port are correct, etc.
It is just a DEFINITION.

7. PXF Profiles - Examples
CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE pxf_hdfs_textsimple
(location text, month text, num_orders int, total_sales float8)
LOCATION
('pxf://data/pxf_examples/pxf_hdfs_simple.txt?PROFILE=HdfsTextSimple')
FORMAT 'TEXT' (delimiter=E',');
CREATE [READABLE|WRITABLE] EXTERNAL TABLE table_name
( column_name data_type [, ...] | LIKE other_table )
LOCATION ('pxf://[alias:]/path?Profile=')
FORMAT 'CUSTOM' (Formatter='pxfwritable_import');
CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE pxf_hdfs_avro(id bigint, username text, followers text, fmap text,
relationship text, address text)
LOCATION
('pxf://data/pxf_examples/pxf_hdfs_avro.avro?PROFILE=Avro&COLLECTION_DELIM=,&MAPKEY_DELIM=:&
RECORDKEY_DELIM=:')
FORMAT 'CUSTOM' (FORMATTER='pxfwritable_import');

8. PXF Plugins, Profiles to be ported from Hawq
• Hawq Available Profiles
• HDFS: HDFSTextSimple(R/W), HDFSTextMulti(RO), Avro(RO)
• Hive: Hive, HiveRC, HiveText, HiveORC
• HBase: HBase
• JDBC profile ...

9. PXF Filter Push Down
• Goal: Performance , Efficiency, less data over wire
• Criteria: SQL “Where” Clause
• Single Expression or a group of “AND/OR” Expressions
• Supported data types and operators
• Types: text, int, smallint, bigint.
• Operators: EQ, NE, LT, GT, LE, GE & AND
